Should it go to 151 mph I will be looking for the stairs to my nonexistent basement.
In February, 2007, a tornado whipped across Lady Lake. The Villages had just completed some new homes - - I think it was towards the Brownwood area but I could be wrong. Anyhow, most of them lost their roofs, along with other destruction. I am glad we listened to the advice to get a concrete block home. It is well worth the upgrade cost.
