SUMMERDALE, AL -- Among the pastures and homes along Baldwin County 32, rows of more than 1,000 travel trailers and mobile homes sit parked in what looks like a gigantic manufactured housing lot.

They are not for sale or for local use, but will become residences for hurricane victims as part of a regional distribution system by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, officials said.

The FEMA staging facility on Baldwin County 32 is one of about 10 locations around the Southeast where housing units are being stored and prepared for transport to victims of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, said Pete Thompson, FEMA logistics section chief and site director.

I took a drive out County Road 32 yesterday.
You'll be glad to know that all the trailers are still safely there.
There's a security guard in the guardhouse at the entrance.
He eyed me suspiciously when I pulled in to take a look and then turn around and leave.

1. "748 mobile homes and 312 travel trailers" and 2 more quotes

"About 50 Baldwin families are still living in FEMA trailers supplied after their homes were damaged in Hurricane Ivan"

""They could call us in the next five minutes to send 300 mobile homes to Florida and we just have to be ready to dispatch them at a minute's notice and we are," he said."

Thanks for the update. I'm glad they are all safe and being guarded. After all, al Qaeda could move in and use them for something. :sarcasm:
