Many moons have passed since the last hurricane passed over The Villages. We have owned property in TV since March 2006 and no hurricanes to cause concern or talk about. Matthew last year was a little rain and wind. The groundhog day tornado was on February 2, 2007 and that was the last FEMA visit to TV. There was no warning for the unexpected tornado.
My point is Irma was the first real test of The Villages preparation and disaster management in a long long time. Hundreds of new Residents have likely never had a hurricane experience before. Many come from States that only see a hurricane on their television sets.
Because of the Villages location, it could be years before we see another Irma or another tornado like the Groundhog Day tornado of 2007. Or not!
