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.

Ummm, just to point out the obvious, that tornado didn't touch down anywhere near...any manufactured home area. :oops:

There were a plethora of site-built homes...that were also left totally untouched.

Kinda hard for a tornado to do damage to something...if it doesn't touch down anywhere near it. :ohdear:
