Check out Gold Wingnut’s amazing nine minute drone tour of The Villages a couple days after Hurricane Irma hit. The carefully engineered drainage system seems to have worked perfectly, and this is after a LOT of rain. Yes, plenty of cart paths were underwater at golf courses, so people couldn’t play golf, but they are designed to be backups for heavy drainage after gigantic storms. Big deal! I see no sign of HOUSES flooded. Were any houses flooded? I wasn’t here then.
