You can "if" and "probably" to reach any outcome you would like. Even with your scenario, the damage inland would be far less than the damage at the coast. And any scenario that brings a storm surge to the Villages would lay waste to almost all of Florida.

If you’re that miserable here, go somewhere else. Maybe back to New England? Just a thought.

California would be a good place. Oh, wait. Earthquakes, wildfires, San Fran, boasting of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the country, the Tenderloin, perhaps Compton, to go with that nice weather. Go west, young man.

NO Not really
 

With interest rates skyrocketing to probably 8 % by year end and stock portfolios plunging
I doubt very much you will see home values surge here. Just the opposite .
Those who bought on the top of the bubble will feel some pain as house values will drop,
Still a nice place to live but the housing bubble is bursting here ..

Maybe more to do with the political atmosphere that differs from his liking?

SOMETHING TOUCHED MY LEG!!!

The surge in home insurance will be about a BAZILLION dollars! The Villages is Paradise.

Storm
 

No more blizzards, ice storms, frigid temps in my old New England home, I will take a few storms to be warm in the winter, my friends.

Not sure
 

I'm not sure what planet you woke up on this morning. The lack of damage had very little to do with the TV. My rain guage showed less than 3 inches of rain. The wind meter showed max 46 MPH gust. We are not in a flood zone, and we don't live at or below sea level, nor do we live within 10 miles of the ocean. While it's certainly upsetting to that kind of destruction, those people chose to live in a hurricane prone area. When you buy 10 miles from the ocean, at sea level and with history of hurricanes, you are setting yourself up for what just happened. People choose to where they live and are responsible for their own actions. Again, my sympathy is certainly with them and I hope for a speedy recovery. But it's going to happen again and again. JMHO

All those snow birds who now have no winter rental down south will be looking for a place further north or may decide to purchase a home due to the lack of rentals. Home values in TV will most likely go up.

This season will be a landlord's dream. People who lost their homes will want to rent while waiting for insurance settlements and scheduling rebuilds.

How many pennies in a Bazillion Dollars?

If you're not happy in The Villages, you should look in the mirror. The Villages is a beautiful place to live!

Agree. 100%

Just the facts mam, just the facts
 

how about facts and not opinions.
A category 3 hurricane, easy, hit homassa florida 1950 before the villages was a twinkle in anyone's eyes. That's 37 miles as the crow flies. Just imagine it as a category 5 , or not.
