Recent tornado in Florida

Post by bfranklin » Fri Feb 02, 2007 2:43 pm

Were there any manufactured homes damaged in the recent tornado? I found an ebook on ebay for .99 called The Claims Money Kit...has lots of Q&A and other helpful information

Yes...the storm devastated a large swath through Lady Lake where at least 75% of all housing is manufactured home...The storm did not descriminate...it took stick homes, commercial buildings, manufactured homes..even a church designated as a hurricane shelter..it was built to withstand 150 mile/hr winds...All that is left are pieces....This type of storm is just bad...if it hits your property there will be damage..

We live 9 miles from where the worst damage occurred.... In the Villages, a huge retirement community that spreads from Lady Lake over a three county area there were 300 homes destroyed and a thousand damaged. These were all very substantial site built structures, most built in the past few years to Florida's very stringent wind codes.... Yes there were a number of manufactured homes also demolished but what ever gets in the path of a tornado of the magnitude we saw here, last week, is likely to be seriously damaged.
