More community shelters is a bit of a red herring in the SE. They are $ and 75%+ MH are not in parks but in rural areas more than 20 min away from shelter. The deck is stacked against theresidents dude to combined physical risk and vulnerability. See --> stephenmstrader.org/_files/ugd/fc3… Hell, most people don't know where they are located on a map and we are asking people (many elderly and disabled) to get out of bed at 2am, wake their kids, drive their car (if they have one), and get to a shelter that may not be open. Fight or flight kicks in, and they stay put.

It is ALWAYS manufactured homes in the Southeast. In my opinion, the Southeast tornado problem won't be solved by better observations, forecasting, and warnings. It will be solved by better construction (anchoring) standards and practices. Unfortunately, it's profits over people. Anyone arguing for more interdisciplinary solutions... Yes, I know this is what we have been doing for the better part of a decade and the results from such work suggest that when all else fails, anchoring the MH is critical to survability.
