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!

Been here over three years. this was the first true test for a storm for us. I must say that the house held up well and the villages developer did a great job. Water in the drainage between the houses but never lost power and no flooding in the streets around us.
