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.
I agree with Dawn Marie, THERE WAS NO WARNING! It happened and within seconds, the square was a total mess. If you weren't there, you would have no idea. Like she says, easy to preach from behind your computer. Don't say these people at the square are stupid. They did what they had to do. Remember, this wind was strong enough to toss metal objects clear across the square and impale tree trunks. Let's just be thankful that nobody was hurt instead of making like you'd have done something else.
