I love the Villages, but lightning is without a doubt the worst thing about living there for me. My two favorite activities both are extremely dangerous when lightning is around. I love to swim laps and golf. Being in a pool or walking around in an open area holding a lightning rod are not good. To make matters worse, I like golfing and swimming in the late afternoon and evening right up to dark, when lightning storms seem most likely to appear. I am not complaining, I knew the deal when we bought in, but I still don't like it.
