Leave the mobile home and go to a sturdier structure or storm shelter.

The best thing to do is to leave your mobile home for more suitable shelter. If possible, go to a nearby sturdy building or storm shelter. It is best to have a place planned out ahead of time. In an emergency, even a concrete culvert in the open is safer than remaining in a mobile home. They will almost certainly be pulverized if caught up in the tornado. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) warns people in mobile homes to leave them immediately if there is a threat of a tornado. Mobile home parks may be eligible for federal assistance in building communal storm shelters.
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.
True. Mobile homes are usually weakly constructed and can be destroyed or overturned even by relatively weak tornadoes, whereas it would take a fairly strong tornado to destroy a well built house.
An EF2 tornado is fairly bad. Such a tornado can tear the roofs from most houses and destroy mobile homes.
You should not be in a mobile home if there is a tornado coming. Mobile homes are very susceptible to tornado damage and should be abandoned for sturdier shelter during a tornado warning.
The short answer is: you can't. A tornado will probably destroy even a tied-down mobile home, so if a tornado is coming toward your mobile home, the only thing to do is run for it.
Leave the mobile home for a sturdy building or an underground shelter.
Mobile homes must be evacuated in a tornado for sturdier shelter. Mobile homes can be overturned or destroyed even by relatively weak tornadoes.
Mobile Tornado was created in 1999.
If you are in a mobile home and a tornado is coming you should leave and find a sturdier structure nearby, preferably one with a basement or cellar. Some trailer parks in tornado-prone areas have communal underground storm shelters that you can go to.
No. While a double wide mobile home is usually a bit sturdier than a single wide, you should still seek a sturdier shelter, preferably with a basement, in the event of a tornado.

Mobile homes are very easy to be destroyed in severe weather like tornado. Among all people killed in tornado between 2000 to 2008, nearly half were killed in mobile homes. They can be easily destroyed by a comparitively weak tornado.

Yes. You are safer inside a sturdy building than in a car. A tornado does not have to be very strong to lift or roll a car. A car is provably the worst place to be in a tornado after a mobile home.
