Been in The Villages 25 years through a lot of hurricanes. They're saying this one is historic, the worst we've had. You really need to worry about the tornadoes. The one that went through The Villages years ago flattened frame-built homes to their foundation. A 2,000-pound cement wall surrounding a villa neighborhood flew away, never to be found. The track of Milton and the intensity when it reaches us will determine whether manufactured homes survive. Too soon to tell. Hopefully, no tornadoes. Good luck to everyone out there.
