Hi, I live in northern Louisiana. I live in a trailer house that isnt anchored or tied down at the moment.?

Question

whats the chances of it blowing over due to wind gusts and whatnot? Wind gusts are currently at 29 mph

Answer 1

if you are part of the storm that generates tornadoes (se )

that's not good

I would see what I could do to secure that puppy (too late tonight)

before the next three come ashore - - - more critical for me as I live in Florida

and you need to consider tornadoes regularly are more frequent than hurricanes

all the best - stay safe

Answer 2

Why did you not leave when you was told too. Stay in your trailor or try to go to a safe place before it becomes worst. Most in importantly PRAY.

Answer 3

If they get up t 75 MPH you may have a problem.  Actually they've found that trailors that are tied down can still be blown away, the only difference is the floor remains.

Answer 4

Dont worry. my parents were in their trailer when katrina came. We live in hattiesburg,MS the winds there were 70-90 mph with gusts over 100mph, it shook alot but never. had to worry about it blowing over.

But we had alot of trees in the area so that may hav deflected a direct wind gust. if youre in a open field or on a hill i wouldnt recommend staying in one with winds over 70 mph,

But 29 mph thats nothing to notice. we sneeze faster than that.

Answer 5

29 isn't enough to blow a baseball cap off my head.  There is NO chance it will do anything.  You have to get above 70+ before it is a problem for a trailer.  

Answer 6

Keep an eye on the weather and have a place to go if there's a tornado warning.

Hope you're alright.
