Governor visits mobile home park to sign tornado warning bill
June 7, 2007 11:55 AM MDT
Evansville - Governor Daniels travels to Evansville Thursday afternoon for the ceremonial signing of a bill to give mobile home park residents more advanced warning of severe weather.
The law requires mobile homes installed in Indiana after June 30th to be equipped with weather radios that can alert people of pending bad weather.
The bill was initiated by Evansville resident Kathryn Martin. Her two-year-old son, CJ, and two other family members died in a November 2005 tornado that struck the Eastbrook Mobile Home Park.
The tornado devastated the mobile home park and killed 25 people across southwestern Indiana.
The Indiana Manufactured Housing Association says all homes can benefit from weather radios, not just homes located in Indiana's 1200 mobile home parks.
