"Mobile homes" flipped

Well I think I can see both sides.

I lived in tornado alley where all the warning you got if you were lucky was a siren going off just minutes before your house was lifted off the foundation and you are running calling Auntie Em, Auntie Em. I've sustained serious damage from 2 tornado hits on two of my houses.

I now have a winter home in Florida and have stayed during the summer months also which means Hurricane Season.

I'm sorry but maybe it's because I have lived with and been exposed to 'instant' disaster with no warning. But...

I kinda DO have a problem with people who do not pack up, move what they have to when a hurricane is predicted to hit where they are located. Especially when they are give A WEEK IN ADVANCE notice to do so. I'd of given my eye teeth to have that kind of advanced warning when the tornado hit my house. :(

So I don't have a lot of sympathy for those that say that they caught by the surprise of a hurricane. :R

Now I have all my important papers in a waterproof container, The MH outside is filled with water, gas, and propane at all times.

Since I have been down here in Florida I have packed up and moved out of dangers way twice. Taking my time to pack and go because with hurricanes I do get a weeks advance notice. Can't do that with a tornado coming down from the skies bearing down on your butt. :C

A lot of people do not have these options. Unreliable or no vehicle, no money, nowhere to stay, family members who cannot travel... life deals everyone a different hand.
