I haven't been here longer to have a valid opinion so I'd like to hear from you.
Not surprising using Irma in 2017 as a baseline. Courses were closed for a couple weeks after that storm and then began to slowly open up over time. Although I believe Irma dropped more rain on the Villages than Milton, the ground was already saturated and water levels were high before Milton arrived. After Irma Lake Sumter wasn’t nearly as high as after Milton.
