You are right there were a couple of homes in the North end that had some damage but that has all been taken care of according to the Villages when I went to the Academy course. There were tunnels and golf courses and other places flooded but what we are talking about is your home getting damage due to rising waters from the street or around your home, comming into your home and causing damage that flood insurance will cover. Fortunately, we have sandy soil as well. Gold Wingnut has a good Youtube video of exactly what happened during Irma so you can see for yourself.
Getting flood insurance, unless you need it for a mortgage, is an individual choice but the Villages is a very safe place to live in regards to storm flooding since we have and they continue to expand one of the best storm water management systems in the country.
As one person said, any other water damage due to the storm except from rising water, is covered under your homeowner's insurance. And I agree, the sewer rider is always good extra coverage to get.
