Do tornadoes mostly occur in trallier parks?
No. Tornadoes do not hit trailer parks more than any other place. However, a tornado that hits a trailer park is more likely to be a major news story because it is more likely to cause serious damage and fatalities. Most trailers are poorly built and can be destroyed by even a fairly weak tornado while it takes a pretty strong tornado to shred most houses. And weak tornadoes are more common than strong ones.
What part of a home would be hit during a tornado?
Any part of a home can be impacted by a tornado, depending on how strong it is. A weak tornado will probably not damage more than the exterior.

It depends on how bad the tornado was. A relatively weak tornado will topple trees and power lines, damage roofs, and destroy some weaker structures. After an intense tornado many homes may be destroyed or be without their roofs. Debris is scattered everywhere. After a large, violent tornado neighborhoods may be turned into fields of debris with trees stripped of their leaves and bark.
