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!
And by just simple comparison of the aftermath around the state, TV is the place to be.
