A couple of years ago I was at our annual emergency preparedness open house and I specifically asked a captain of our emergency response teams about where to go in the event of an approaching storm. She asked me if I lived in a manufactured home and I replied that I had a new ranch home south of 466. She immediately said "just stay where you are", remove any possible flying objects from around your home or in your lanai. Other than that these houses have been constructed to the highest hurricane standards and are the safest place to be, away from windows that is. She also commented that TV is where people in the smaller communities of northern Sumter County will be coming for possible protection (all roads lead to TV). So, I don't think you need worry about the expense or hassle of hurricane shutters. Save the $$$ and go out for dinner at some of our fine restaurants. Welcome!

I was just going to ask a similar question and you seem to have covered all the bases quite well. We were just wondering if the worst case scenario would be due to the WINDS and not flooding such as Vermont has experienced. Is flooding an issue at all in The Villages or vicinity?
My husband seems to think that the sand would absorb the water more quickly?
Flying debris we "understand" and would take care that does not happen.
Thanks for any other tips..........also, has anyone now living in TV every lived through a hurricane in either Lake County or Marion County???? Meaning in recent memory. Thanks to all in advance.
