They did call for mandatory evacuations of mobile homes in the areas Charley hit. People didn't listen to the warnings, as is common when hurricanes are off our coast.
I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. Trailers are storm death magnets. I just cannot imagine living in one and not evacuating with a hurricane on the way.
well, I don't think its that common for people to ignore these - look at how many people fled the tampa bay region. and the barrier islands like Sanibel had almost 100%evacuations. but unfortunately, I think alot of the people that we now know were in the eye, thought it would be mostly a flooding event for them, as opposed to a direct hit from a cat 4.
