Early Damage Report

[xkeowner]

We took a short drive through our neighborhood (Hemingway South) then down Morse, 466A, Buena Vista and back down Odell circle. We saw no significant damage in our neighborhood. Outside of the neighborhood there are fronds and some limbs down almost everywhere. We saw a few traffic lights that had fallen from their arms and others twisted so they were pointing other directions. Retention ponds are way over full. Kilimanjaro hole #9 green is completely submerged. The “small” pond on #6 has covered the cart path and beyond. The pond on Turtle Mound by holes #5-6 is way out of its banks covering lots of cart path.

I have seen a few other people out and about in cars or on foot. I just walked a little ways to try to get Beau to poop. Too windy still for him. He is too nervous. Wonder if anything is even open today? Stores, restaurants, movie theaters, etc?

Severe Weather Recovery

Emergency management is now resuming their normal operations, in addition to assessing damage. Please DO NOT think this means that it is now safe for you to travel throughout the community. It is imperative that emergency personnel have the opportunity to assess the community for damage.

As the safety of District staff and residents of The Villages community remain our top priority, several offices and facilities will remain closed. As damage and recovery are assessed and determined, we will continue to update this information.

Utility operations will also begin damage assessment once it is safe. Please understand that they will begin assessing issues and outages based on priority (hospitals, assistive living facilities, etc.).

· All golf courses will be closed on Monday, September 11th. It has not yet been determined if they will need to be closed for a longer period of time.
