Great response from Malsua on this topic.
One of the reasons to select the Villages over other Florida retirement locations is the storm water management system. It would take a storm of Biblical proportions to affect us.
And yes, Florida is flat. Certainly one of the flattest places I've ever lived, and I grew up next door to Kansas. My attic TV antenna pulls in stations from Orlando 50+ miles away, full strength, no fade even during thunderstorms. I've never lived in a place where I could get much more than 30 miles away, even with an outdoor antenna without fade/pixilation.
Other than the summer heat (which I call Florida's winter), we live in one of the best states/spots in the USA. And IMO, it's only getting better.
