"How Climate Disasters and a Housing Crisis Are Shattering Lives
Millions of Americans, many poor and vulnerable, live in mobile homes.
When catastrophe strikes, they’re often on their own."

By the time the murky brown water in the house reached his chest, Joe
Rogers realized it was too late to leave safely. Then, in an instant,
his mobile home shifted violently, creating a wave that swept up
furniture and trapped his wife, Sandra, in their bedroom.

Mr. Rogers pleaded with his wife to leave, but she was stuck. He said he
would break the bedroom window from the outside. He went to his front
door, grabbed a rope thrown by a neighbor, and pulled himself to the
nearest perch, pausing to catch his breath.

Before he could return to the trailer, it broke loose from its
foundation and was pulled into the adjacent Pigeon River, churning with
rain from the remnants of Hurricane Helene. He watched his home smash
into a bridge, his wife still inside.

Her body was recovered days later, 16 miles from where they had lived in
Clyde, N.C."
