Have the folks on the "historic side" in the manufactured homes ever needed to vacate and seek shelter elsewhere during any of the storms/hurricanes?

Re: Tropical Storm Fay
 

Yes

tkret........ that was a great question!!

So the answer is YES ......... but is it 'cuz the homes aren't as strong as a CBS built home or up to the standard of today's built homes?.

We are leaving the coast in Southern Florida and going to TV. The forecast shows Fay coming right over us, so it is a good excuse to visit TV, and look at a few homes while there.

In the past, we have gone to Orlando and ended up being in some very strong rain storms, but no flooding.

A positive way to look at hurricanes and TV is....TV has been at it for 40 years beginning with the "Historic" area.....somehow they made it all these years and all those prior years hurricanes.

While today we are much more informed and as a result become better prepared.

On the negative side we are too much informed by the media as they venture beyond informing and move into brain washing-like repetitive reporting of every drop of rain and grain of sand blown. I guess it is how they sustain viewership, but it can and does frighten the uninitiated.

I love the snow reports here in NY.........When did two to three inches of snow become a STORM?

ANY snow becomes a storm once you've lived in Florida for a while!! 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

Re: Tropical Storm Fay
 

That is my take too about the media. They stand there almost chuckling when the winds get up to 60 mph.

Please, do not allow yourself to become complacent just because you have a 6-pack of bottled water and a few spare flashlight batteries.
Hurricanes can, and do, become deadly.
