Is there a reason to have sand bags in the Villages? Not sure! I do not live close enough to water to know. I believe at one time some homes in Spanish Springs got flooded. But, again not sure!

It was during Irma about 5 years ago. It flooded near the golf cart bridge. I don't think anyone had sandbags and don't know if they would have helped.
Definitely need food that does not need refrigeration or cooking, I use battery operated candles. Some solar lights may help and a battery operated radio or weather radio.
