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.

That said, a few tornadoes in Florida have been significant killers. One the the most notable was the Kissimmee F3 tornado of 1998, which struck two trailer parks, killing 25 people.

Are tornadoes more likely to hit trailer parks than any other community?

No. Trailer parks are no more likely to be hit by tornadoes than anywhere else. Trailer homes tend to be weakly built and poorly anchored, so they are more easily destroyed by hing winds and tornadoes. As a result, tornadoes that hit trailer parks are more likely to cause major damage and produce casualties. Therefore they are more likely to attract media attention.

Why do tornadoes always strike trailer parks?

This isn't quite true. A relatively weak tornado can destroy a trailer but when it might cause not more than roof damage to a stronger structure. To destroy a more substantial structure would require a strong tornado (at least an F3) which occurs far less often. So tornadoes don't hit trailer parks more often than they hit anywhere else, but when they do hit trailer parks they are more likely to cause major damage.


Why do tornadoes hate trailer parks?

Trailer parks do not get hit more often than anywhere else. But when they do get hit the damage is worse. A fairly weak tornado of F1 strength can destroy a trailer park when it would only cause moderate damage to a house, damage which would not usually make big news. To destroy a well-built house would usually require at least an F3 tornado. Such strong tornadoes occur far less frequently.

Why are trailer parks tornado magnets?

Trailer parks do not attract tornadoes. This is a misconception created by the fact that tornadoes rated F1 and F2 tornado can destroy a trailer but usually not a house. To destroy a house of standard or above standard construction would normally take an F3 or stronger tornado, tornadoes this strong are not as common as F1 and F2 tornadoes. Because a tornado does not have to be particularly intense to cause catestrophic damage to a trailer park, a tornado that strikes one is more likely to recieve media coverage.
