A couple of hours ago (about 8:00 am I snapped a photo of the graphic from WESH 2 that shows future rainfall. It does not look good for The Villages. We have the highest future rainfall count in the area that encompasses Ocala in the north and Palm Bay on the east coast in the south. The graphic shows that by Friday at 9:00 pm, The Villages will have 26.2 inches of rainfall and Leesburg shows a future rainfall count of 23.8". I have no idea how this can happen but Ocala has only 6.1 inches of rainfall as future cast for the same time period.

Yikes!!! Can The Villages handle THAT much rain with their water management system? Now I'm concerned.
