The retention pond near Palmer CC is the highest I've seen in 8 years. About 3' from the retaining wall on Riley 1st tee boxes.

Gracie, and those of you who got some leakage,

What direction were those windows facing? We are in Ohio right now, and do have neighbors checking our house, plus my daughter was there yesterday, but am still worried a little.

Gracie, you are right - that much rain in Ohio and we'd all mostly have swimming pools in our basements!

The water came in from the east.

Took a quick trip to Market Square on Buena Vista and the Villages irrigation is on. They do this to lower levels in ponds that are too high.

Lots of branches down but the square is all cleaned up and beautiful.

We have a break in the rain now.

Going to the Town Square next in SS. Will report if I see anything interesting.

I have the same concerns. We are also building in Sanibel, roof and doors on, but garage doors still not in. Wondering about the rain going into garage. I also received and e-mail this morning from our photo guy, no pictures this week. Maybe I should check with our agent too? Curious what your agent says...

Has there been any reported flooding in any of the residential Villages?

[graciegirl]

I think by now, someone would have reported flooding on this forum.

Please have someone check your east facing window(s), particularly the floor in front of them.

We had a LOT of water, our friend had a little. Both east facing windows only.

The wind was hurling the water sideways and if there was a tiny crack or area to get in, it did. Ours came in under the sill and behind the dry wall and soaked the carpet. Soaked..We have had many rains with nothing. But this was a lulu.

Warranty was here an hour after we called them. Window caulked or sealed or whatever they do. Carpet checked and fan on it.

Okay, have now traveled from St. James to Mulberry to Hacienda Hills to ... A few paths are swamped, but they are ones that are swamped with any heavy downpour. There were a few small branches on the ground this morning (picked up this afternoon). So far as I could tell, no real damage or issues anywhere. There were some power outages in Marion County.

Now, that being said, in reality this storm is more of a nuisance than anything else from what I can tell. There's been little lightning and the winds really haven't been half as bad as I've seen previously. So, unless it somehow gets much worse, I'd suggest we all relax and be thankful Florida is getting some sorely needed rain.

If we had this much rain in New York the beaches would be closed, because the water treatment plants can't handle the runoff and the untreated water goes into the L.I. Sound. Yechh

I believe you mean Waste Water Treatment Plants (i.e., sewer plants).

Water Treatment Plants are for drinking water purification.

yes you are right. I stand corrected. Couldn't think of the proper terminology
