The question was about sustainability. Each time there is a hurricane in the Gulf, I ask myself, what if? I cross my fingers and hope for the best. A hurricane would cause property damage but it will be the side effects that may last for years. Not trying to scare anyone. It is just something I believe could ruin the Villages. Hopefully, that day will never come.
You seem to be a person who livesin Florida, and is afraid of what may or may not happen due to weather related issues. Must be a horrific toll on your health and wellbeing.

We have so many tornadoes and bad weather north, you have a plan for everything. Yet don’t worry or even give it a second thought, other than at least with this damage we’re going to get a new____________(fill in the blank). Here in Florida I figure if house is damaged I will get a chance to fix the couple things I did wrong when we built the house.

I have zero room, to worry about weather, or in your case believe ruin in the Villages, and not sleep at night because that day may come.

I have only met one person who literally lives in fear everyday in TV, whenthe sky looks like a storm. Good thing they retired early, because health has already deteriorated, from an active healthy person to walking skeleton, won’t sleep because storm could happen at night, in less than a year.
Hope you have someone to help you through your worry.
