Erin never posed any issue for us.

It is the same--and growing worse--just about everywhere in America. Back in Minnesota it was ridiculously wide snowfall predictions (I remember one that was "between 2" and 14"), blizzard predictions that ended up leaving maybe 3" of snow and a 20 mph wind, and of course the dreadful "polar vortex" predictions that seemed to follow every prediction of snow, no matter how slight.

We're prepared for the worst. Which never seems to happen in The Villages anyway. If Erin poses a danger (or even just an inconvenience) to The Villages I have absolutely no doubt we'll know well beforehand.
