projection of a hurricane is never an exact science; the weather guys couldn't believe it had changed course and gained power so quickly.
I hate to say it but I'm afraid some people down there believed it to be no more than a Cat 2 that they could ride out in a mobile home.
Unfortunately, to no one's fault the storm changed direction and power.
Prayers to all involved in the rescue and clean-up down there.
Any idea why zoning in those areas allows for mobile homes? It doesn't seem logical to have them in areas that get hit by hurricanes.
