Sounds fine, but why can't we even be told what "predicted rainfall" he was referring to?! And if he knows that, logically he must have some idea about at what point we won't be in "good shape". That is all I ask. I doubt I am more in fear of a hurricane than you, but I am unhappy with the fear The Villages management apparently has of admitting at what point flooding would begin to occur.
I can tell YOU when I was in fear of flooding, when the weather channel was saying that upwards of 24 inches of rain was possible here where we live, several days ago. We all have the same information on all channels 24-7 and each of us can decide to get out of here anytime it seems dangerous to us. The Villages is not our mother.
