I don't know all the details, but no one has mentioned this area. I believe that the Daily Sun ran an article about this ( which I have not read). So, with those disclaimers upfront, here goes. Hurricane Helene raised the level of Paradise Lake in the Historic section enough to overflow and block the street on the lakes'northern perimeter. Several residents complained. The Villages Storm Management people pumped out the water and lowered the level of Paradise Lake, which was fortunate because there was no flooding during Hurricane Milton. I apologize for the vague details, but I just wanted something about this flooding event to be part of this thread.
