Thankfully most houses at the edge of the lakes on this side of the Villages are on supports, rather than concrete slabs. So flooding risk is not too bad, all things considered. We did get flooding, down where Kim turns and changes its name to Silver Oak, there's a small retention pond on one side, and Silver Lake on the other side, and the road was completely covered with around 5 inches of water at its deepest. Drivable if you go slowly. The banks of the lake where peoples back yards are, were almost completely submerged. That was yesterday, no idea what it looks like today.
Someone living off Powell and 466A was trapped in her home for two days because it was surrounded by flooding. It was caused by a retention pond built at the new Home Depot property. I don't think the woman's house is a Villages home, but it's definitely a problem in the area.
