Early reports of high death tolls (51, 91, etc.) than we initially reported from news sources were the results of officials who counted the dead twice, plus the confusion that reigned as land telephone lines went down and cell towers were overloaded. The revised death toll on Wednesday stood at 24.<\/p><div id=\"manuf-4068621312\" class=\"manuf-content manuf-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3870480136270376\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3870480136270376\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The facts that follow are in no way meant to minimize the tragedy that occurred Monday May 20, 2013 in Moore and that area.

But modern radar, broadcast weather alerts and municipal sirens all help cut the risk from tornadoes today.<\/p>\n<p>While weather reports indicate that more typical tornadoes touch down for 7 minutes or less, storms like the one in Moore, Oklahoma Monday remind us there are exceptions. The estimates of the length of time on the ground for the deadly Tornado that struck Moore is about 40-45 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>As sad as these facts are, statistically over 4 times as many people died in the U.S. Monday in auto accidents than in the deadly tornado. Over 110 times as many died statistically from cigarette smoking that day. The chart below is from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC 2001).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"317\" src=\"http:\/\/manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/causes-of-death-graphic-posted-on-mhpronews.png\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What we saw Monday in the rubble of hundreds of conventionally built houses and buildings was a stark reminder that only an underground shelter can be considered reasonably safe during a tornado. But even an underground storm shelter isn&#39;t a guarantee. One Moore survivor with a storm shelter told a reporter that he held onto the storm shelter door, as he feared it would otherwise have been torn off by the tornado.<\/p>\n<p>Two photos of manufactured homes were captured by the media. One photo showed a home that had rolled over, but had maintained a<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"tornado-moore-OK-2-posted-on-mhpronews(2).png\" height=\"188\" src=\"http:\/\/manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/tornado-moore-OK-2-posted-on-mhpronews(2).png\" style=\"float: right; margin-top: 8px; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;\" width=\"250\" \/> higher&nbsp;degree of integrity than hundreds of houses built on site. What we don&#39;t know from the photo is the answer to the question: was the manufactured home properly anchored and installed?<\/p>\n<p>Either way, one can imagine that people could have survived the storm even in that &#39;rolled&#39; home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"tornado-moore-OK-posted-on-mhpronews.png\" height=\"188\" src=\"http:\/\/manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/tornado-moore-OK-posted-on-mhpronews.png\" style=\"float: left; margin-top: 8px; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;\" width=\"250\" \/>The photo of a metal sided, metal roofed manufactured home above revealed broken windows, but the home apparently remained in place. Presumably, that home was properly anchored and installed.<\/p>\n<p>Those who own a manufactured home, and those of us who market and sell them can take a kind of pride and confidence in these facts. The old misinformation that manufactured homes disappear or are &quot;gone in the wind&quot; like Dorothy&#39;s home in the <i><b>Wizard of Oz<\/b><\/i> is clearly inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>The point is that a properly manufactured home does much better than we are generally given credit for, and the safety is not inferior to that of a site built house on a slab that is hit by is kind of tornado. This photo of a leveled neighborhood demonstrates that reality.<\/p>\n<p>The lower cost of a manufactured home makes affording a storm shelter a valid consideration for many. You could own a manufactured home and a<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"tornado-moore-OK-3-posted-on-mhpronews(1).jpg\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/tornado-moore-OK-3-posted-on-mhpronews(1).jpg\" style=\"float: right; margin-top: 8px; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;\" width=\"250\" \/> storm shelter, and still be well under the price of conventional construction. Some many not realize that a manufactured home can be designed for installation over a partial or full basement too.<\/p>\n<p>Our <i><b>Industry Voices<\/b><\/i> article from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhmarketingsalesmanagement.com\/blogs\/industryvoices\/?p=1645\" target=\"_blank\"><b>MHAO&#39;s Deanna Fields in Oklahoma<\/b> <\/a>captured a thought that all involved in manufactured housing need to grasp and be ready to respond to with ease. She related how a local TV station&#39;s newsman was reportedly bashing away at a manufactured home community that had been struck before the Moore storm hit. But in the wake of the devastation and damage to some 13,000 houses, the local reported dropped his &#39;coverage&#39; about the MH Community.<\/p>\n<p>We are all saddened by what happened in Moore. But let us learn some lessons from the midst of that tragedy. Our homes demonstrably faired well in the instances captured in these photos.
