In the last big storm, only the historic section had some flooding and power outage. The rest of The Villages was good.

First - we aren't a "direct hit" from Milton. The gulf short will be the "direct hit." By the time it gets to The Villages it will have weakened. Even if it only weakens from a Cat4 to a Cat3, it still disqualifies as a "direct" hit.
We are not in the path of the center of whatever ends up inland. We're north of it. Hopefully the southernmost parts of The Villages will be spared from the worst, including Middleton, our "sister Family community."
The Historic section looks like it'll just get what it always gets when the wind and rain kick up a notch - palm fronds laying in the streets, some road flooding at retention ponds and Silver Lake, and lawn ornaments toppled and hurled over to the next door neighbor's yard.
