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.
What else can I help you with?
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 is the difference between a tornado and a willy willies?

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 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.
Can small tornadoes be very dangerous?
Yes, all tornadoes are dangerous. Some relatively small tornadoes have reach F4 or F5 intensity and caused catastrophic damage. Even weak tornadoes can cause major damage to trailer parks.

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.
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.
How bad are tornadoes in Florida?
They are generally not as strong as the tornadoes that occur in the Great Plains, with comparatively few tornadoes reaching more than F2 strength.

How do people in the US protect themselves from tornadoes at home?
They listen for warnings. If one is issued they go to their basement, cellar, or some other room deemed safe from tornadoes, preferably one in the center part of the house. People who live in trailers leave for studier shelter. Some trailer parks have storm shelters.
Are tornadoes more likely to hit trailer parks than other communites?
No. Trailer parks are no more likely to be hit than any other patch of land of the same size. However, because trailer homes are weakly built and often not tied down, they are more easily destroyed. A trailer home can be completely destroyed by a tornado that would only remove the roof of a typical site-built house. The means that a tornado that hits a trailer park will generally cause more severe damage and is more likely to kill or seriously injure people and therefore more likely to attract media attention.
Which state or country got the most trailer parks?
The USA seemingly would have the most trailer park homes in primarily rural portions of the country. As portrayed in the media every once in a while, some Americans live in trailer parks and rural areas.
Do humans make tornadoes worse?
Some have propose that global warming may cause and increase in the number of tornadoes and number of strong tornadoes, but so far there has been no substantial evidence of that. Aside from that possibility it is unlikely that tornadoes are any stronger or more frequent as a result of human activity. However death tolls and injuries may be higher as a result of practices such as building houses without basements and trailer parks in tornado prone areas. These do not affect the tornadoes themselves, but leave people who live in such places more vulnerable.
