Hopefully, anyone living in a manufactured home, doesn't waste any time getting to a good shelter...even if it's just a 'tornado watch.'

Because statistically, you're in much more danger (even if it's tied down) being in one during even high winds...much less a tornado.

Mobile Homes 2500% More Deadly In Tornadoes

Since 1985, fatalities in mobile homes have accounted for 42% of all tornado deaths in the United States (Table 1).



It does remind me of an old joke though.


"How are a tornado and a deep south divorce alike?

"Someone is guaranteed to lose a trailer."
