I do not know about the insurance question. The February 2, 2007 tornado hit one of the recreation centers in the Villages very hard. Would not want to be in one of these in a twister or hurricane or even a high straight line wind. There are several shelters in TV but you would need some time to get to them. Not enough time really to get to them in the case of a tornado. The authorities did not give enough warning to really practically move a lot of people to them a few days ago when a system hit the Villages nor on February 2, 2007. These shelters would work if and when a hurricane headed to the Villages unless you had a system that wobbled a great deal.
