The Sumter County part of The Villages was largely non-existant at that time.

That was Sumter County SOUTH CAROLINA near Charleston.
I am glad to be in the Villages after being 2 miles from the northern Gulf coast.
Hurricanes stand being more of an inconvenience than a disaster here.
This is NOT New Orleans and the Mississippi coast which had flood and storm surge damage primarily.
It pays to be prepared but don't get a "bunker mentality' or scare people who don't know the components of hurricanes. Tornadoes spawned by a hurricane would be the biggest threat here.
