Tornado hits Carolina camp ground

[ferndaleflyer]

Just saw on TV a bunch of campers piled up after a tornado hit Emerald Isle---been a weeks warning to get out of there but as usual some don't listen

I would have liked to read the article and view the photos but the site demands that I turn off my ad blocker to do so. I don't turn it off for any website so they can bombard me with ads but it sounds like a mess.

Looks like the majority of those trailers were park models. They don't move on a dime. Lots to do to transport them as they are plumbed permanently and usually anchored down. Some have underskirting and some even have deck-porches. Lots of logistic to move one of those. I can understand why they were left behind. Hope everyone had good insurance.

A lot of those campers belly up have wheels on them so I bet they could have been moved.

I live in NC about 10 miles from Emerald Isle with a 5er on my own lot. Don't know if I got hit yet as we are in Massachusetts until October. The reason the campers did not leave is probably because they can't. Unfortunately, it is the law down there that if your camper is going to be long term on a rental lot(not month to month) it must be strapped down like a mobile home is.

They did leave, they just left their campers (from what I was seeing).
