Mobile Homes Mobile homes are particularly vulnerable. A mobile home can overturn very easily even if precautions have been taken to tie down the unit. When a tornado warning is issued, take shelter in a building with a strong foundation. If shelter is not available, lie in ditch or low-lying area a safe distance away from the unit. Tornadoes are spawned from powerful thunderstorms and the most powerful thunderstorms produce large hail.
Tornadoes frequently emerge from near the hail-producing portion of the storm.
It is not uncommon to see clear, sunlit skies behind a tornado. If there is no basement, go to an inner hallway or a smaller inner room without windows, such as a bathroom or closet. Get away from the windows. Go to the center of the room. Stay away from corners because they tend to attract debris.
