Well, south of 466 hasn't flooded as far as I know.
I do agree with you that The Villages was spared with where the eye came ashore and that jog to the east helped too. I wonder how The Villages would have fared if the eye of the storm came ashore directly west of us and traveled directly over The Villages. Would the water management system prevented flooding?

Many of the golf courses would have flooded... Which is part of the water management system,. Better to flood a golf course than flood hundreds of homes...
