Quick reminder, as for the heat thing. I grew up outside of Orlando while father was in the AF. So years of being an AF Brat, born in Edwards AFB in California. Last place he was enlisted was Grand Forks, AFB in North Dakota. Now that is windy and cold! I will take sweating at 6:OO getting the newspaper, vs my body being frozen stiff by the time I get to my newspaper!
As for Hurricane's well you get a little time to plan for them, doesn't ease any devastation afterwards however. I believe The Villages doesn't get "truly" affected, but high winds are an issue. Now compare that to a Tornado that pops up you maybe have 3-15 minutes as a heads up.
I can share this, holding my 2 year old son, looking out a large front window, we were admiring the different dark and green colors of the clouds on a storm coming in. My now ex was at the back of the house, and mentions we should bring our son downstairs as she didn't like the look. (She grew up on a farm in WI, so she has seen strong winds with nothing stopping them and huge storms so no fear from her!). I stayed a couple of more seconds, and went well alright buddy let's go down with mom. More to appease then to say fearful, as it wasn't daunting IMO. Low and behold, I took about 20 steps to get to the door to our basement, got half way down the stairs and as those with tornado history or close calls, there was a very loud freight train noise. Hustled down the last remaining steps, gave my son to her hands, and ran over to the steps to see what in the heck that was. From the gap between the floor and the bottom of the door, I could see water, leaves, etc, I went you have to be kidding me! Waited for most of the sound to leave, popped up stairs. Huge old outdoor cast iron chair came through my large from window, from someone's deck a few blocks away lodged into my wall. From window to back wall was 25ft. All the popcorn in access ways to attack where sucked up and turned in the attack, and the worst thing of all was the house behind the entire 2nd and 3rd floor were gone except for a piano. Nobody injured as they were not home, thank goodness!
So, pick your poison lol... blizzards, snow, -50+ windchills with steamy 95+ Summers with high humidity, or Hurricane Season, and Steamy Heat for 4-5 months and rain! I will take that.
I can easily adapt to AC all the time, do it now, I cannot stand the Snow and Bluster anymore! I will miss the cabin, pontooning, jet skiing, etc... but time to Bass fish Lake Sumter!
