Earthquakes, not so much in Florida, sinkholes yes. When a neighborhood has to be evacuated because of a developing sinkhole, public safety officials tell residents to get out now, this second. Your bug-out-bag better be kept next to the front door at all times. There will be no time to go searching for it.
The disabled nuclear reactor sitting 50 miles due west of The Villages has always been a concern, especially since it cracked in 2009. This is the reactor, owned by Progress Energy at the time, that they tried to repair themselves and only made the cracks worse. This turned out to be the biggest energy debacle in Florida history.
On a lighter side, the nuclear plant that was planned for Citrus county has been shelved for the moment by Duke Energy. This facility would have been even closer to The Villages than the disabled one at Crystal River.
