    Thank you very much for your comment about not confusing modular homes with manufactured/mobile homes. I am the Marketing Director for a modular plant in Virginia and our homes are built to the same codes as stick built homes and in most cases, exceeds the local and state codes.

    Below is a quote from the FEMA Report from Hurricane Andrew (FEMA Pub# FIA-22).

     In its report “Building Performance: Hurricane Andrew in Florida,” assessment teams from FEMA concluded that modular homes withstood the 131-155 mph winds of the Category 4 storm in August of ’92 far better than site built housing.

     They concluded that the Modular and Masonry homes faired the best.
