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!

No storm surge, you are 75 miles from the shore. You are more likely to get injured in an Orlando crime than to get injured by weather in The Villages. A storm spawned a tornado in 2005. A few houses were damaged. Nothing before or since.
Drinking water, some canned food, and a full tank of gas if you really are worried.
