Hurricane Irma progressed up Highway 301. By the time it got to here it had weakened to a Category 1 storm so wind was not much of an issue. Basically a midwestern thunderstorm, except it lasted 12 hours instead of a few minutes. In the northern Villages the flood control system worked perfectly, diverting the storm water onto the golf courses. Duke energy customers lost power for a few days, but most of us, on SECO had no loss at all.
So, no evacuation. Bring your outside things in before hand. Get a good book, or your streaming video play list handy. Have some extra food on hand because damage elsewhere can block roads interrupting deliveries to grocery stores.
