Our former domicile faced only moderately powerful winds. My former  
neighbor said all was fine, though I'm sure he politely left out  
mentioning scattered debris from the wind. He's been hired by the landlord  
to redo a hasty floor repair I made in the bathroom. Mobile home floors  
are made of pressed sawdust, and they tend to warp badly with the  
slightest amount of water. There had been two different leaks from  
plumbing under the bathroom floor in the past three years, so they needed  
replacing. Since he focussed on telling me that in our quick conversation,  
I have to assume there was no storm damage per se.

However, there is some social chaos: Since evacuating folks took all  
supplies, there is no gasoline, no bread, no drinking water, etc.  
Electricity was out awhile from downed trees. There was a knifing at a  
store where people fought over the last loaf of bread. I don't recall any  
of that making the news. My former neighbors are having a tough time  
getting to work, for example. Church services at many places were canceled  
since no one could travel. I'll be seeking more info later on those things.
