How many utilities provide services to the Villages?

I have Duke for electricity and Leesburg for gas.

I have also heard of SECO electric and Leesburg electric.

What do other people have?

Is there a map showing the utility providers for each area?

We live in Hawkins and have Duke electric and TECO gas.

And, they are not even on our street. I will be very happy to have my roof fixed before the next rain/wind event.


That's unbelievable. Given what I've heard the maximum wind velocity was in that area, you're right ... faulty installation looks like the culprit. There's no way anyone should have shingle loss like that, with winds that *may* have hit 75 for a second or 2.

Ok one has to have a warped sense of humor when you have a 45’ foot tree sitting on your roof and in your pool, destroying the birdcage.

Sorry for what you’re going through. That sucks.

Wondering if the storm kicked up a localized microburst that hit your neighborhood? Here is hoping you can get your roof tarped and then fixed before the next rain. Fingers crossed, the next few days look likely to be dry.

Has any one been there to see?

What gazebo, where the bands play? Take a look at the camera.

The intersection of Lauren and Kiley was flooded this morning. Some shingles off several houses, one guy's exterior garage wall was slanted outward. Awnings down in a few yards. Half the neighborhood had no power. Xfinity internet's been down all day.

Two house all shingles gone
 
Two house on our street in Dunedin don’t have shingles on roof except two rows. Water damage inside due to rain too.

I’m sorry about your loss. That’s terrible. A couple years ago a big pine fell on my daughter’s home in central Georgia, and another flattened a large shed, and a third took out a big brick wall. Her insurance company gave her a large amount for this, and fast, but a fly-by-night crew with a big truck and chainsaws came by, offered to cut up the trees, and charged her far too much, like $30,000. She assumed that was the right price. After getting the roof damage to the house fixed, there was nothing left for replacing the shed or wall.

I drove through The Villages from near 466A and Buena Vista up to Spanish Springs and back Thursday about 11 a.m. 25 miles. I didn’t see any house damage. No shingle damage. There were a lot of palm fronds down and lots of leaves and moss and acorns from trees, of course, but that will be picked up today. There was an unusually tall crêpe myrtle blocking one lane of Morse at Rio Grande. That’s all.

What a drag. So sorry to see that.

I wish you as much peace as possible while waiting for hopefully a fast repair of everything.

You can also call A+ Screens (352) 484-7926. Small company, very reliable, honest pricing and quick response.

I am not at my house and I have no idea if I incured any damage especially to roof. My neighbors have changed and most are not there. Does anyone know who I could call to have my house checked out? My house is in Buttonwood. Would Community Watch do something like that. Thanks for all replies.
