We didn't move any lanai furniture and everything stayed put. We are just south of Lake Sumter Landing so maybe we didn't have those gusts that your area experienced.

We got a lot of rain (the lawn was squishy this morning). But aside from that... not much to say.
Wasn't Eta a tropical storm?

Depends on how sturdy your home is. Some friends had leaks.

I live in Tierra del Sol. It was rainy off and on on Wednesday. If there was anything on Wednesday night, I slept through it. Nothing on Thursday except I light breeze, then occasional sun. I brought all my outdoor cushions into the house from the open Lanai, but it wasn’t necessary. I haven’t seen any damage at all.

No problems here. All we got was a gentle wind and a light sprinkle.

You ever wonder why there are no tornado warning sirens in The Villages? Because there are NO TORNADOES.
destroyed my home here

I am east of Lake Sumter Landing and have a weather station. Highest gust was 17.4 mph early Thursday morning. Total rain Wed. night/Thursday morning was 2.16 in. Very little debris and no flooding that I have seen.

We live in Tierra Del Sol and there were some palm fronds down, nothing else I know of.

What storm. Just wind and rain.

Was mostly a rain event but a very strange storm path.

Live 1/2 mile from Spanish Springs and 5-6 oranges fell off of two trees. Played golf in Tavares yesterday. Golf course was a swamp. They had 6 inches in rain. At TV less than an inch

Live near Seabreeze and traveled to Rohn at 6a Thursday. Very little branches down, the rain must have been before 6 am Thursday because only sprinkles after. Little windy but nothing unusal to a normal day after 6a nor did I see any evidence of damage (not even big puddles)
