I know it’s the south in general, trust me, those “ef5” DIs from the Hackleburg tornado that showed empty CMU blocks not even attached to a concrete slab has never left my mind.I mean that’s not unique to Kentucky, that’s just the south. It’s all older homes. Especially in Kentucky, There isn’t an incentive or market for new development because of population increases so all homes are older and probably are from the 70s-90s. There’s a lot of poverty too, which makes mobile homes more prevalent. I don’t think it’s in poor taste, the construction is generally poor. Which is why I’ve been trying to tell a few posters in here bent on this being a high end candidate that it’s just not going to happen
But Kentucky in particular definitely has one of the most poor construction standards in the country.
Not saying at all Hackleburg wasn’t an ef5 because it very much was.
