I worry for you. Although mobile homes use a lighter construction, I think the greatest risk is that they are usually anchored to the ground only by gravity. If yours is not actually anchored, there is still time to drive some of your stakes into the ground, and install a few guy ropes.

Sounds like FUN. Wish I were there.
Hell I'd bring ten cases to hole up & listen to it. Haven't been in a good hurricane since the Solomons.
MIT will be tracking flooding live in Broward County, Florida, using social media. That includes Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, etc..

This is serving as a test for wider application.

Hurricane Irma and steering winds measured at 500 hPa, which is about 18,000 feet altitude. She will head north, toward the dark blue hole.

But the hole keeps moving.

Chicken Was Right
Ignore all the spaghetti models and shifts east and west. Go back and read Chicken's very first post in this thread.
Although eastern Florida has been clobbered by the wide wind field and tornado watches, it's looking like the actual core of the hurricane (the brown disc) is indeed going to pass over Chicken.

Irma's Worm Trail
This shows the recorded winds from Irma. Note how both the core wind field and the tropical storm force wind field has widened as Irma progressed. Presently the core is as wide as the Florida peninsula.

The hurricane in Florida spreads its weather effects over all of the southeast US, as shown in this radar image.
The outer bands are reaching up to me in Virginia now, though I am seeing no rain.
The descending black line is the falling barometric pressure from the storm.
But the wind and rain will appear here on Monday night and Tuesday. By that time, the center of the then Tropical Storm Irma will be on top of greenmonster, in norther Alabama.

I'm thinking SOME of it was media hype, not all.

Better safe than New Orleans.
That's what Irma said.
But seriously... Considering predictions, looks like Florida really caught a break.
