I don't believe that you have anything to worry about for the NEAR future. However if we were taking about 10 to 15 years in the future, the story is different. Warm air holds more moisture and both land temperature and water temperatures in the Gulf and water rise have been increasing rather dramatically. If we project that rise in temperatures which is increasing worldwide forward for 15 years then home flooding in the Villages would be likely. No one (especially not me) can accurately predict even 5 years in the future. Overall, I think that no one likes changes that are negative and older people (like residents here) seem to RESENT and deny even small changes. So, I am just SUGGESTING that people read up on the Science and ramifications of the Earth warming. There are many changes happening at the Polar regions that COULD be premonitions of changes to the mid latitudes of the US and the world.
