Please be kind if these questions are ridiculous.
1. Do we have to worry about the life threatening storm surge the news is reporting? Will our neighborhood flood?
2. Should we drive to the Orlando area and get a hotel room in a high rise building?
3. If we stay here, what should we do to prepare?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Nice dog. By now you know that almost no action needed to be done for this hurricane. The hurricanes the last 2 summers have been strong because the water surrounding Florida has been record HOT. That record heat is likely to keep getting worse for at least the next 7 years. If you plan on being a snowbird and have 2 homes (one up north) then Florida is OK and The Villages has a lot of activities.
.........But, with only one home, I would recommend looking at Tn or the Carolinas, where you could have a much more comfortable summer and likely it would be less expensive there.
