We are living in one of the safest places in the country here in the Villages. Yes we can get small tornados but we are not in a valley, or have any rivers or creeks to overflow and we are too far away from the shore for storm surge. When we have hurricanes, when they hit land there is no energy to keep them going so by the time they get here they are usually no stronger than Cat1. Infact, I think it was 2016 where a Cat1 hurricane came over the Villages. All that said, if you want to get all that insurance, go for it but there is a high probablility that you will never use it.
YOU ARE MISTAKEN. There was extensive flooding on the north side of TV. The golf cart bridge was flooded along with several homes from Irma. Also, there was flooding in some neighborhoods in the south end of TV from Milton.
