Irma was not a direct hit on The Villages. It was actually west of us (30 or 40 miles perhaps).

IRMA (direct hit over TV as a CAT 1) really wasn't so terrible. Fortunately we weren't on the north end of TV were power is a little more exposed and more likely to go out. Up north during Sandy the infrastructure being so old where we lived caused more problem then Irma. We never even lost cable here we had no power up there for 10 days because a neighbors tree took out the power line. If they say it will be CAT2 or 3 then I might think differently but that isn't likely here since we are inland. The east coast of FL is another story. I'm more concerned over neighbors leaving flower pots and other small stuff outside. Wife and I went house to house around us asking our neighbors to take in their 20lb lawn projectiles. Didn't want to find a neighbor's planter in our bedroom.
