  (Shipping Container mobile home, storage---cheap, long-lived, easy to move and set up, take down.)

Just thinking about the mobile homes in Florida -
had some of them been 'built' from these, and
*anchored* correctly, seems like they could
withstand hurricanes .... having them partly
buried or earth bermed up the sides would also
cut the wind force and prevent them being
turned over, wouldn't it ??
