It s like a house of cards They just crumble

Ernie Baggett, the former emergency management chief for Autauga County, Ala., regarding the disproportionate rate at which people in mobile or manufactured homes are killed by tornadoes in the U.S., especially in the South. Since 1996 tornadoes have killed 815 people in mobile or manufactured homes, more than half of all the people killed at home during a tornado, despite manufactured homes accounting for less than 6 percent of America’s housing units. So far this year, at least 45 of the 74 people who have been killed by tornadoes across the nation were in some form of manufactured housing. (Associated Press July 28, 2023)
