Preliminary report of extensive damage to some units in our park. No word yet as to which units.

No fan of Ron Desantis but it appears they did relocate the staging area before the hurricane hit.
It looks like a bunch of cots got wet or otherwise ruined but other than that no first responders were the structure when the roof collapsed.

The fact they got in there in the first place is a failure of planning whether they fixed it or not.

Definitely NOT a good idea to specify that site as the original staging area for this particular storm.

It appears the State of Florida realized it made a poor choice when - thankfully - the personnel were relocated to a safer location prior to landfall.
It would seem the kind of thing they would have a standard plan for that wouldn’t include that site.

My aunt and uncle relocated from Houston and survived Harvey. I guess they know what to expect at least.
Wow, Mom's a swinger?
Disrespectful. It's a round robin timeshare in the extended family. She is their with my aunt and takes her marriage seriously.
But you're aware of the reputation The Villages has to everyone except perhaps you?
Why is The Villages known as ‘the STD capital of America?’

There are many many people who live there that don't want sex. It's a retirement community. Yes, I am aware of the people who slander it.

I’ve spoken to my grandmother and my cousin
Both are well and no major damage

Sorry to hear of the lives lost in this —- various reasons at this point whether it was medical or natural coincidence

Not sure who’s bright idea it was to house anyone in a tent-topped stadium

They must have missed the memo when the silver dome roof collapsed here
