Talk to Florida People who are Natives. They prepare but don't worry.
There was a comment the other day about everyone in Manufactured Homes to seek shelter immediately. Figure 4000 +/- Homes in the Historic Section, Water Oaks, Rolling Acres RV. Where are the places to take all those people and others that I don't know about and did not include in that list?
I've been self-promoted from Chicken Little/Baby Huey to almost a full-fledged Floridan, maybe another couple of years. All you have to do is be prepared.
I'm lacking with the generator because of being not lazy but not really motivated. We are ready in every other way. Even Flood Insurance.
thank's for your post, I feel better now.  |
Most of those 4000 manufactured homes were built prior to 1995 and guess what - they are still standing. Can't imagine the percentage of homes in Florida that are manufactured homes - still standing. If you want to know the real difference between site built and manufactured homes ? A large percentage of manufactured homes are second homes and people are not here in the hurricane season. Out of sight out of mind. Given the chance even with a site built home I would still head to a fire house if it were me. They are equipped with generators and provisions for emergencies. When the tornado hit TV was it not the site built homes and country clubs that suffered the damage ? Not one manufactured home in TV was totaled that I know of. The sky is falling - THE SKY IS FALLING.
