Danger of Mobile Homes

Tornadoes strike all over the Midwest due to winds coming over the Rocky mountains. They leave a massive trail of destruction especially for those living in mobile homes. Tornadoes are very serious especially if you live in a mobile home. As seen in the picture, they do not stand up well against a tornado. This is why it is important to evacuate or get somewhere safer as soon as a tornado warning is put into effect. If you don't act soon, it may be too late. Over the past 10 years, noaa.gov has reported that 596 deaths occurred due to killer tornadoes alone. 307 of those deaths were of people living in mobile homes, 51% of the deaths. This is why it is crucial for information to reach mobile home residents as soon as possible.
