"Four of us huddled under the gazebo overhang and got battered by the wind and rain."

There are restaurants and stores just across the street you could have ran to or even The Villages Sales Office right across the street. Standing outside in the wind and rain for what you believe could have been a tornado coming leaves one to wonder.

As for warning people at the square, doesn't sudden high wind and rain lend itself to a a warning to get the heck off the square and into a building? The Villages Sales Office was still open at 6 pm when the storm hit and is a huge and a safe building.
