You know I agree trailors seem to be the worst affected by horrid weather. They do not stand up to tornado's and now hurricanes.

I realize that those that live in them aren't the wealthiest of folks but do we rebuild a moble home park that wont stand up to the next Charley? It is a subject that Gov Bush needs to consider.

I really get made about this.

According to infor given on TV earlier; there are 'straps' of some sort; that are now required in 'updated' 'mobile home parks' that do keep them 'down on the ground'.

Apparently, many of these parks, however have been around longer than that legislation.

It's amazing to me that trailer homes are still in existence, given our litigious society. They're the worst in wind/tornado/hurricane and horrible fire traps, yet they keep selling. I realize they're cheap, but it's still surprising the industry has been able to resist expensive safety upgrades and that people would still buy them. At the very least, they should be required to have high-rate, high-risk insurance...maybe that would stop the madness.
