As of 15 minutes ago noaa.gov, in the forecast for our area for today (Oct. 9) is "heavy rains and breezy", with tropical storm conditions tonight and tomorrow with the POSSIBILITY of hurricane conditions ("Tropical Storm Conditions Expected With Hurricane Conditions Possible"). So--yes. This is serious stuff, but at the same time a far cry from the Armageddon-like conditions that it appears many here believe we will experience in The Villages.
For advice, listen to the experts. You can call "Citizens Information Center 24/7 at 352-689-4400 or visit our website at www.sumterprepares.com". There are probably other sources of non-hyped advice available as well.
