Trigger Pulled Too Soon
 
Looks like Dorian is turning East and will only skim the Florida coast sometime Tuesday or Wednesday. With Rec centers, golf courses, pools and entertainment all cancelled, do you think TV pulled the trigger too soon?

Nope. With all the uncertainty about the track of the storm, I feel that if they erred, it was on the side of caution. A few days without golf and rec centers may be an inconvenience, but not that big a deal. I'd rather be careful than sorry.

Considering that 24 hours ago, most of the hurricane models still had Dorian heading towards us and that The Villages is now a bit too large for just a couple of people to go out and shut things down, they made the right decision. Hopefully they will pull back on some of the plans and we'll get back to normal more quickly. Enjoy your time off everyone. Visit a friend. Call a relative up north. Take a walk.

Better than waiting to long to pull the trigger. Hat's off to being proactive.

The direction can change tomorrow, better safe than sorry.

No! These storms have a mind of there own and can change direction in a heartbeat.

No, but they should start reopening things if we are not having hurricane related issues. The good news is the greens can use a couple of days off.

Whichever way they went, delayed till closer to landfall or doing the best thing as they have, they would be questioned by someone.

We are adults? No? Chill Out!
