Maybe some day these will replace trailer homes

http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/2509966.html

The cottage, designed for Katrina victims in Mississippi, sleeps four and can be expanded into a full-size permanent home. The model has an added loft and features lightweight panelized walls constructed of 6 inches of hard foam insulation sandwiched by sheets of concrete-fiber siding. The roof is made of steel siding with 6-inch solid-foam insulation. The interior ceiling also has a steel finish.

Home Front President Brian Bishop said Katrina Cottages in Port Charlotte, Fla., survived the eye of Hurricane Charley in August 2004 — meaning winds topping 150 mph. The company’s brochure says the homes are lab-tested to withstand 200-mph winds.
