Yes, IT WAS AWFUL!
But the good part was the action The Villages took immediate without any obvious requests for aid. They stopped all construction and immediately went into the affected areas to help. Crews were cleaning up debris, helping where ever they could, including putting tarps on houses, etc. It was amazing to witness how fast they went into high gear and how efficient they were. In less than a year you couldn't tell there was any devastation let alone the magnitude of it. Areas/cities around us had green tarps on their houses for years. I was very impressed and I'm not really one to be easily impressed. I was renting at the time and their actions clearly told me this was a good place to buy a house. (We bought one compeltely rebuilt after the tornado on a street close to completely distroyed,but you would never know how bad it was )
Of course, everyone hopes The Villages, or anyone else, doesn't have to take such action again.
