Not always. I have seen twice a hurricane hitting shore in Tampa but more powerful in Orlando. Many people who once evacuated from Tampa to Orlando, now have reconsidered. They drive north along the coast instead of inland hoping to avoid the hurricane path completely.
My concern with the Villages is that it is only one hour away from Orlando. One hook turn, and a disastrous hurricane can be at our doorstep. Will it happen? I don't know! Anyone's guess!
Having been through more than a dozen hurricanes, I would not be surprised! Hurricanes are extremely unpredictable!
