CNBC reports that Moody Analytics has estimated the damage from Hurricane Florence in the tens of billions, and could go higher. That’s bad, but an estimate from CoreLogic would make that estimate look puny. Frankly, news of China appeared to be the bigger market-mover today, but our focus this evening will be more on furious Florence, with its numerous MHVille connections, which will be our spotlight, below.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
CNBC reports that property damage from Hurricane Florence is estimated at $17 billion to $22 billion, and that forecast could be conservative, depending on further flooding, according to Moody’s Analytics.
Economists so far see a minimal impact to growth from the hurricane, which Moody’s sees shaving 0.2 percentage points from third-quarter GDP.
That may explain why the markets have not reflected a major disruption as a result of the tragic results of Hurricane Florence.
But late last week, analytics and housing firm CoreLogic put their estimate at some $170 billion. That’s a huge difference, obviously.
As has been previously noted, there are manufactured home communities, business, and residents who have been impacted by the storm.
Thousands of FEMA Manufactured Housing Units (MHU) have been pre-positioned. Depending on how flooding plays out, thousands of more could be needed.
The bottom line for now is wait and see. It could take days, perhaps a week or more, before all of the flooding and related damage plays out. See the related reports, linked below.
