I've been here for nine years now. In that time we have had a few hurricanes pass through. The only time I recall there being any significant damage was about three years ago when the biggest storm in history passed directly over us. Most Villagers were completely unaffected. Some of us in the historic district lost power for a few days, a few trees and there was some minor damage to some carports and lanais on the manufactured homes.
It snowed in the morning which turned to sleet for the rest of the day. The temperatures were in the low 30s. Pretty snow? In my opinion, having lived in New England for over 50 years, there is no such thing as pretty snow. And if you think that the grass up there is green this time of year, you'r forgetting what is really like.
By the way, on the day of the snow and sleet, I hit some golf balls at the range and enjoyed the pool later on in 85 degree weather.
I'll take Florida anytime.
