"A tornado came through the Villages and caused a lot of damage to one area - mostly several homes on a single street. …...so this was really a very isolated incident...."
This was posted on a closed thread, just to set the record straight it was not just several homes on a single street and not isolated.
It happened on....
Feb. 2, 2007 – Groundhog Day
The EF-3 tornado, packing winds between 155-160 miles per hour, cut a path across the then-south side of The Villages, leaving in its wake about 1,300 damaged or destroyed homes and other buildings, including the Mallory Hill Country Club.
The devastation was particularly bad in the area of Cane Gardens Country Club. And in several villages, including Poinciana, Sunset Pointe, Sabal Chase and Mallory Square, to name a few, many homes were either destroyed or suffered extensive damage.
It then plowed into Lady Lake and demolished the Lady Lake Church of God before killing eight people as it slammed into mobile home communities off Griffin View Drive.
