The climate is always changing. So if you hear someone blame Hurricane Florence on ‘climate change,’ ask them to consider this. One forecaster reminded his audience that ‘That this could be the worst storm in 60 years’ to hit that part of the Atlantic coast. What that means is that some 60 years ago, a similarly severe storm, long before contemporary talk of ‘climate change,’ occurred. That said, unless we have a miraculous turn of dissipation of the advancing storm, there is strong consensus that this will hit the Eastern U.S. Construction supply related and manufactured home producer stocks are rising, insurance stocks are falling, ahead of what could be a storm that devastates thousands of housing units. That will be our focus again this evening.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Don’t be surprised if the aptly named “hurricane sale” event being held by Legacy Housing in Eatonton GA is even better attended than reports to the Daily Business News on MHProNews have already indicated that it would be.
The President of the United States (POTUS) Donald J. Trump is urging those in the possible path of the storm to follow local officials’ warnings and “Get out.”
One estimate on AM 1430 radio said that some 750,000 residential housing units are in the storms potential path. With a current Category 4 status, plus heavy rains expected, the devastation could be widespread.
That in turn will create demand for emergency housing, replacement homes, and rebuilding efforts.
Per CNBC:
“Speaking of the government’s preparations for Florence, Trump said his administration is “sparing no expense. We are ready. We are as ready as anyone as ever been.” He added: “This is going to be a very large one … It’s tremendously big and tremendously wet. Tremendous amounts of water.”
Seated in the Oval Office, Trump surveyed poster charts of potential hurricane trajectories with Kirstjen Nielsen, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and Brock Long, the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Earlier in the day, Trump told reporters at Andrews Air Force Base that his administration is “absolutely, totally prepared” for the hurricane.
“We’re ready. FEMA is ready. Everybody is ready,” Trump said. “We have everybody standing by. We hope for the best,” he said. “There’s a chance it could be a very bad one, as you’ve probably heard … but we are absolutely, totally prepared.”
Speaking on a conference call with reporters Tuesday, officials from both FEMA and the American Red Cross predicted that electrical power and roads could be out for weeks in communities hit hard by Hurricane Florence.
“This is not a storm that on day three the roads are gonna be back and trees will be back green and power will be back on,” said Jeff Byrd, associate administrator for the Office of Response and Recovery at FEMA. Florence, he said, “is going to definitely knock out power days into weeks.””
The Daily Business News will continue to monitor the storm’s approach, and if it occurs, the aftermath.
Retailers and communities should think ahead, and consider the surge in orders that routinely hits factories, as it did last year when FEMA and other orders poured in, setting delivery dates months into the future.
