Knowing that this can all change, (although the track is now pretty highly confident), in the worst case scenario, can The Villages handle that amount of water?

You'll get many responses! We've lived here 13 yrs and Irma who blew right over us 5 yrs ago---for some was significant. We live between 466 and 466a---power never went out. Only thing happened to us was a small piece of siding came off. People who lived in the historic side were without power for, I don't remember how long but think it was at least a week. Anywhere the power lines are above ground will be affected. The Villages has done a good job of controlling the water---though some of the golf-courses did flood a bit and some streets but think it was temporary. Have your storm kit ready, just in case but mostly here we get rain and wind.
