Also, we have had tornadoes spin off from hurricanes in the past. So, it is better to be up North during the summers. Look up a graph of the increasing Earth's temperature for the last 5 years. It is ALL there for just a few Google clicks. I am NOT making this stuff up.

And if I may add, no homes are impervious to storm damage. The Villages lost a lot of shingles during the last hurricane Milton. The worst though was Ground Hog day 2007.
“The EF-3 tornado, packing winds between 155-160 miles per hour, cut a path across the then-south side of The Villages, leaving in its wake about 1,300 damaged or destroyed homes and other buildings, including the Mallory Hill Country Club.”
