True, S2kray. Several times a year there are deaths from mobile home fires here and during voluntary evacuations, the first ones told to leave are those who live in mobile homes.

The folks I know with property in FL have all been fortunate in that their property was not damaged, and most import, they are all safe. Some were up north when storm came through.

My sister got back today. The house had little to no damage. Several trees in the yard were torn up but they can be replaced. Power is back on and all is right in her world!

Looking at some videos of Key West (Duval St, etc) from a few days ago. Structurally, not too bad. But they don't have the services restored. The Gardens Hotel (where we stay) is OK, but of course can't reopen until given the go ahead. Which may be awhile.
