If you are in a car, do not try to outrun a tornado. If possible, take shelter in a sturdy structure. Otherwise, get out of the car and move to the nearest ditch or depression until the tornado passes. Mobile homes are particularly vulnerable to overturning during strong winds, and should be evacuated when strong winds or tornadoes are forecast. Damage can be minimized by making sure that trailers are secured with cables anchored in concrete footing.
Most trailer parks have community storm shelters.
If there is no shelter nearby, leave the trailer park and take cover on low, protected ground. Read our Privacy Policy Statement .
