Not sure about the rest of the Villages, but my neighbor's rain gage only showed about 3.5 inches from Ian down in Fenney, so not sure if that was really a test of the system. I know early on Ian was predicted to move right over us, but it went south/east.

That said, I've read great things about the flood management system here, and based on comments from longer term residents, it seems to work fairly well.
