Last month (August 2024) was Hurricane Debby, just a heavy rainstorm by the time it hit TV.
I saw a villager showing off his rain gage filled to the top 10 inches.

Question: Did the Moultrie Creek/Middleton/Shady Brook area have and water rising close to any homes?

I am in the process of buying a home in Shady Brook. It is in an AE Zone. I assume the Developer has raised the foundation of the home above the water hazard elevation and that FEMA will update the map in a few years (I will appeal).

Thanks
That area is among the lowest risk from hurricane and floods in the state.

Duke Power used that area to stage thousands of trucks and workers prior to recert hurricanes.

At Duke'''s Hurricane Idalia staging area south of The Villages, hundreds of lineworkers are ready
