Anything EF-3 or above will obliterate any house. Manufactured on site or in a factory won’t change that.

Trailers used to be built with 2x2s every 4 feet. Now they are 2x4 and 2x6 and 16/24 on center like any house.

Sounds like the article is referring to oldermobile homes/double wides and lack of basements or underground shelter.

Old prejudices. Sounds like they want to regulate manufactured housing to trailer parks.

Thing is, most houses today are manufactured. Tresses arefrequently built off site and brought in.

I watched new houses being built in Virginia and sold for a hugh price.

The only plywood in the outside walls were in the corners. The rest of the outside walls consisted of insulation foam and vinyl siding.

I’ll take a manufactured house over that.

I still marvel at the power of the Jarrell Tornado, there was literally nothing left but the slabs.
