Firstly, thanks all for the responses. I really do appreciate your opinions. I don't plan on going until we hear more from local weather etc.. and it won't be until Friday in all probabilty. But I just wanted a bit of reassurance that I am not being silly to want to get out of this house (or well disguised shack as I call it..don't get me wrong it's a nice palm harbor..but that's just it.. it is still a mobile)

dirtboy: I am not near a hospital etc.. but where I plan to go is in Round Rock, really close to Round Rock Medical Center. I have two options.. a one story house- brick.. or a 3-story apt. building on the first floor(sister's place). My infant is ok healthwise.. he sweats in our house with the AC on 74 though lol.. so if we lose power.. he will be miserable. He does have 2 holes in his heart etc.. and a possible blood sugar problem, as he is almost 30 lbs at 3 months his doctor is looking into this.. (scary I know! he's a gigantic baby lol)

oceanview: the big difference.. if there is alot of wind.. which I stated in my previous post.. this place can't take more than 75mph like I sat through once before here.. there was alot of damage and it was scary as hell.. and never wanna do that again in a manufactured home.. Where I am going... BRICK building.. where I am now.. on 4 hidden blocks.. not made of anything too strong..and not anchored etc... 2,000sq foot manufactured home that is 10yrs old or so. And not sturdy at all.. And if there is possibility of tornadoes.. I'd rather be in a brick place than here.. That is why it would be better (IMO correct me if I am wrong).. and there is no structure here to go to for safety if needed. They keep the only brick building here in the complex locked when not in use for parties. I asked them this many times if they'd consider opening it for storm purposes.. Also where we are power goes out in tiniest of storms. Put yourself in my shoes.. what would you do?? Or perhaps you think I am as paranoid as my husband thinks I am ;^)

My wrong!
Somehow I missed that you are in a mobile home. Plus you have an infant with medical problems. By all means, you need to be someplace more secure and one that has power (or can have access to power like a nearby hospital) for the baby's needs. And you need to line up all these this afternoon and tomorrow and be ready to boggie on Friday if the weather deteriorates as it well may.
My apologies.

Hey, carinafox5 -- it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and lay the groundwork with your sister, just in case. That way you can make your last-minute decision without a worry of perhaps imposing on her, and if you're still wavering, having made those plans in advance might encourage you to go ahead (and keep baby safely out of harm's way). Besides, why can't you just decide to go visit your sister anyway, just because you want to? ;o) I'm sure she'd love to see her adorable nephew, right?

Knowing storms of this size can easily spawn tornadoes, I'd rather be in a brick apartment building than a lightweight manufactured home. (We had tornadoes from Katrina all the way up here in Central Virginia. It's not being silly at all to plan for a "what if" scenario.)

My motto: Better safe than sorry.

As the governor said - if you wait until Friday to decide to leave, IT'S TOO LATE.

Get out NOW.

I didn't realize what a Palm Harbor was.

If it's a mobile, get EVERYONE out. Mobiles generally face evacuations in a Cat 1, and you are probably going to face that.
