Understood and I agree we have probably the best storm water Management system in the world. But at some point with enough rain the system can be overwhelmed.
Based on the information provided, the rain that occurred east of us, now causing record flooding in the St Johns river basin, may have been enough for that to happen in some areas of The Villages.
