Why do tornadoes always hit mobile home parks?
Tornadoes DO NOT hit mobile homes more frequently than they hit other structures. Fact is that mobile homes are more vulnerable to tornado damage. Mobile homes can easily be overturned by strong wind gusts. In addition, their thin walls make them susceptible to windblown debris. Mobile homes also do not have cellars in which to seek shelter. Residents of mobile home parks in tornado-prone areas should NEVER attempt to remain in their homes when a tornado approaches. Many parks have designated community shelters, and those that don’t, should!
