Terrible. Between the hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes, the Yellowstone looming threat of super eruption one of these decades and of course the threats of nuclear exchange to prove only God knows what to each other, this planet is becoming an unstable, dangerous place.

Those in the video were manufactured homes with metal beamed floor joists; similar to mobile homes, without axles (these are trucked/lifted & set into place).
