In a letter published in today’s  USA Today, Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) president and CEO Richard Jennison responded to a March 11 article in the paper that only people in manufactured housing are at risk during a tornado. Noting that 175 mph winds can ravage any housing, he quotes from the press secretary for Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels: “The March 2 tornadoes were so strong, they destroyed school buildings and reduced conventional houses to dust.” Jennison adds the only truly safe place during a tornado is an underground shelter.
