I live in Homestead and you're 100% correct. Mobile homes are ALWAYS under mandatory evacuation, even with the smallest storms. People don't always listen and stay.

We live in what locals would call a "hurricane house" (i.e. it's a sturdy older house on stilts) and you can bet your behind that I'd be out of here for anything stronger than a cat 1 storm under normal circumstances. This year, with an infant, I was seriously considering leaving until it appeared clear that we were going to get tropical storm conditions at worst.

The entire west coast was under a hurricane warning. Anyone in a mobile home that stayed was tragically wrong.

That's what I had in mind. ...wouldn't stay in trailer house in a tropical area at all, and certainly wouldn't be in one if so little as a tropical storm was within 250 miles.
