As I understand it the recent heavy rains have filled the holding ponds to near capacity and saturated the ground so there may be little ability to accommodate the rain a hurricane or tropical storm brings without some flooding occurring. The water delivered by Irma caused the most problems.

Since TV is well inland hopefully wind speed will be greatly diminished. Although the homes in TV are surely built to whatever the code was at their time of erection, they are constructed so rapidly I wonder about concrete curing and every little but significant construction step and feature being correctly followed. I try not to do things in a rush. The contractors are highly experienced and capable builders and the homes are pretty much cookie cutter so they are probably satisfactory.
