You should have a pre-planned place to go that you can get to quickly. This can be a sturdy building, preferably with a basement, or an underground shelter. Some mobile home parks have underground storm shelters.

If you were in a mobile home when tornado is spotted what should you do and why?

You should leave the mobile home for a sturdier shelter. Mobile homes are usually weakly constructed and either weakly anchored or not anchored at all. Because of this they can easily by overturned and destroyed, even tornadoes that are not particularly strong. Nearly half of all tornado related deaths in the U.S. occur in mobile homes, even though only a small percentage of Americans live in such homes.
