If a flood comes, pony up and try and keep the insurance companies out of it if you can.

We are the lightning capital of the world! You are going to see at least one 5 inch rainstorm a year. Recently in Ft. Lauderdale they got over 20 inches of rain in a 24 hour period. It’s gonna rain, and you are going to see occasional flooding. We have coastline an hour plus on either the eastward or westward side of us. In addition, Hurricanes bring torrential rain at times no matter where you live in the state. We aren’t living on mountain tops.
Yeah, Florida gets rain and it’s fairly flat. However, I think most would avoid buying in a FEMA floodplain if at all possible.

Information is there for those who are contemplating a purchase in the The Villages and if they want to gamble, they have the freedom of choice to do so.
