Wind Was Gusty not Steady Rain measured 2 ways at about 4.5 inches
 

We live in southern Osceola Hills not far from Rohan Rec Center. My weather Station measured max wind gusts at 45 mph. Rain total was 4.5 inches. WE also had a large cooler with the top open in the birdcage to collect rainwater for toilet flushing in case water was out. The water collected was about 4.5 inches deep. Measured by ruler from tip of finger to knuckle.

These are measured not guesses.

The Bubble
 

We aren’t safe from Hurricane Damage in the Bubble, that’s just a fact. Hopefully insurance companies are slow to react and in modest fashion.

Some houses in The Villages just weren’t built correctly. Hopefully there is a sit down with roofers and an explanation that shingles shouldn’t be leaving homes in 60 mph winds.

Anecdotally just from this thread, we see demonstrated problems.

I'm in Moultrie creek in a new home>
I lost some Hip Shingles and my neighbor lost a few more than me in the same spot.

Don't seem like they installed correctly

The Villages at some minimum distance of about 40 miles from Crystal River and longer for typical storm path is certainly at lower risk from straight wind and flood damage. Tornados and downbursts are another story to my amateur mind. We did not have a tornado. However, the scattered damage pattern of suggests funny twisting winds that seemed to damage "weakened installations".

The shingles should be good for 120 mph or so and the measured winds at our house were less than 50 for Milton and 70mph for Irma several years ago.

Irma did not produce shingle loss in our neighborhood. Milton had one house with damage to nearly every gable surface with nothing damaged at adjacent houses.

Regarding flooding, our distance from the Gulf and the extensive stormwater handling systems should prevent major house flooding. Yes, there can be tunnel flooding and some pond flooding that may cause some damage especially in the Historic area. However, we have no large streams that can erode the hillsides and wash our homes away as in NC.

I have done a fair amount of research on the stormwater facilities near my home in Southern Osceola Hills near Rohan Rec Ctr.

Our area stormwater discharges to a pond which has a discharge into the adjacent wetlands area. This discharge is at least 10 ft elevation below our Lanai. The pond is defined as an AE flood elevation (aka 100yr).
In turn this wetlands has a discharge path under Morse Ave to the wetlands surrounding Lake Deaton.

In turn Lake Deaton has a flow path under Rt 44 towards Lake Okahumpka and beyond eventually reaching Hogeye Sink via various surface and reported below ground drainage.

As long as the CDD maintains their current vigilance on these under road drainage facilities and removes any potential blockages, Rohan Rec Center and the new Walmart will flood before our neighborhood.

My Davis weather station measured 6.98 inches of rain in Osceola Hills also just north of Rohan.

Looks like they missed the nail zone strip. FWIW...Owens Corning Duration shingles have a wider/stronger nail zone. Maybe talk to Batterbee Roofing.

How long is the warranty on the roof on a new home? We live in Pine Hills and many homes in our neighborhood had roof damage though fortunately not us. Wondering now whether the damage might be covered under warranty since all these homes are less than 10 years old. Since the rooves are supposed to be built to withstand up to something like 125 MPH winds and we had nothing like that.

We live in Gilchrist and follow a weather station in Pinellas. Measured just under 10” of rain. Lost 8 shingles and three others on our street have roof damage.
