We lived in the Davenport/Claremont area, when we worked for The Rat. One of the manufactured home communities was where we hung our hats.

During Erin, we just hunkered down in the double-wide while it went through. It was a VERY well-anchored home, and didn't get but a piece of the carport hit by flying debris.

I had a good confidence in an anchored house; stood up to Cat 1 winds. But against a Cat 3??? I'd have been on the first wave out; at least the family would, I'd have been called up by then...

All mobile home residents are under mandatory evac in all local counties, no matter the location.

My home was built within the past four years and is reinforced concrete block, with hurricane tie-downs in the roof. WE are about to find out if the construction works.
