When Hurricane Gustav hit the Baton Rouge area when I lived there the Sheriffs office was 3 miles away and reported 95 MPH winds. I pulled my 32' fiver along side the house and 10' away, filled all the tanks with water, put down the front and rear jacks and left it hooked to the truck. The rig barely moved. There was no damage to the rig although hindsight tells me that if faced with those conditions again that I should covered the large rear window with a tarp. It really got plastered with small limbs, leaves and other debris. Three sides were exposed to the wind.
I lost my roof as most neighbors did. Quite a number of good size trees were down. Broken limbs everywhere. Mobile homes in this area are required to be tied down and that is usually by fastening devices to the frame. I often wonder what would happen to the walls if hit broad side with high winds.
