In tornado-prone regions, many do. They are not built for that purpose, but schools and office buildings may be designated as tornado shelters. Just about any sturdy building can be used. These site should be used by people who find themselves outside, in their cars, or who live in trailers homes. If you are already in a house you should shelter in place there rather than venture outside.

What kind of weather event makes the front page of the news?

Extreme weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, or severe thunderstorms that cause significant damage or disruption typically make the front page of the news. These events garner public attention due to their impacts on individuals, communities, and infrastructure.


Are tornadoes more likely to hit trailer parks than other communities?

No. However a tornado that strikes a trailer park is more likely to cause major damage. In most cases it would take at least an EF3 tornado to destroy a frame house. Only about 4% of tornadoes are rated EF3 or higher. By contrast trailers are usually of a much weaker construction and are usually poorly anchored to the ground or not anchored at all and so are much more easily destroyed. Trailers are often destroyed by EF2 and high EF1 tornadoes. This means that perhaps 20% of tornadoes are capable of destroying trailers. Since trailers are more easily destroyed trailer parks also present an increased risk of tornado-related deaths and injuries. Because of these factors, a tornado that strikes a trailer park is more likely to come to the attention of the public.


What can you do to warn people about tornadoes?

You can warn people about tornadoes by posting a weather warning on tv or radio. I agree with that, but, not all people have radio, or television. Just to be safe, make sure your neighbors are aware of warnings, and help them to safety.
