Palm Harbor home withstands Category 5 Hurricane
The Nichol's one-year-old Palm Harbor Riviera II home was just 500 feet off of Mexico Beach on October 10, 2018, when Hurricane Michael made landfall there, pulling a massive storm surge and winds measured at 129 miles per hour nearly a mile inland. This crushing wall of wind and water created massive piles of debris - cars, bikes, poles, fences and more - and used them to knock down every home on its way inland. Until it came to the Nichols' Palm Harbor modular home. And there it pushed and pushed and pushed with all of Mother Nature's might - but even Mighty Hurricane Micheal could not knock over their home.
See why 84% of homes in Gateway West are Palm Harbor Homes
On August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew made landfall in Florida City. The category 4 storm boasted winds of 175 mph resulting in 31 deaths and $25 billion in damages. 85,000 residences had to be replaced. Of the 124 homes in Gateway West before the storm, only 8 were left standing -- all were Palm Harbor Homes.
