Best advice is if you think one is coming your way "Get out of dodge". Go visit a friend, mini vacation and try to leave before a warning to leave is issued. Roads get super packed.
The Villages is where people evacuate TO. Being locate inland and The Villages water management system (south of 466) we should not have a problem with flooding. Having said that, tornadoes can cause lots of damage such as the tornado that hit the Mallory Square area back in 2007. I didn't live here back then but have heard some horror stories.
