She made a reasonable assessment and gave her opinion. I thought it fair and valid. I agree with her.

So... our doors swing inward. Is that because we are not technically in south Florida?

What does HVZ mean? I Googled it, to no avail.

Most important our block designer was build in 2011-what is the wind rating of the roof, windows ,etc ?

I trust The Villages implicitly. Their track record says it all. I do not care for negative agitators from the outside..

Actually it's HVHZ, High Velocity Hurricane Zone

explain the door situation:

Should Exterior Doors Swing In Or Out?

This one shows we are in a HVHZ..........

Are You in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone?

As I understand it the recent heavy rains have filled the holding ponds to near capacity and saturated the ground so there may be little ability to accommodate the rain a hurricane or tropical storm brings without some flooding occurring. The water delivered by Irma caused the most problems.

Since TV is well inland hopefully wind speed will be greatly diminished. Although the homes in TV are surely built to whatever the code was at their time of erection, they are constructed so rapidly I wonder about concrete curing and every little but significant construction step and feature being correctly followed. I try not to do things in a rush. The contractors are highly experienced and capable builders and the homes are pretty much cookie cutter so they are probably satisfactory.

What ponds have you observed that are at near capacity?

For those who seem concerned that building "too fast" may = inferior construction.......what have you actually experienced to portend that is the case here in TV.

This developer has a well established routine and sequencing of progression not afforded to most developments.

How many inferior construction complaints here in TV has there ever been to warrant such an accusation?
The allegations are more urban legend like based on an unwarranted prejudice.

Last fall, we had Romac install hurricane rated, mandated along the coast windows in several rooms. So, we feel comfortable about riding out the storm except that we have a porta potty out front because of the construction of a front patio. I told my neighbors that I am not going to ride out the hurricane in it to weigh it down.

T & D says that they will try to remove it before the storm does.

Paradise Lake had water rippling over the docks behind peoples' houses there.
