because trailers are more likely to be torn up... in a tornado, so they make the press more than any thing else....

A trailer park is a tornado magnet. :-)
Generally trailer parks during tornadoes make good news. During the OK City tornado an F5 blew through town leveling million dollar neighborhoods and trailer parks in the same second. Trailer parks are played to the media because of emotional draw to the "poor". Statistically trailer parks are no more of a "target" then 1/2 million dollar homes. Tornados are not intelligent so as to go after the low lifes living in trailer homes. Generally speaking trailer parks often reside on the outskirts of towns and generally become the first to be hit after coming across miles of open fields..

We live in a trailer park, and I can see what some people's opinions are of us because of something as silly as the type of home we live in.
And... not worried about a tornado here! We live on the very tippy top of a mountain in PA, so I am actually more worried about an avalanche through our modular village *politically correct?*

Because trailer parks are so damned easy and fun to push around, and with all that trailer trash, it's a frickin' riot to watch 'em scurry around like pigeons! Tornados are like that, weird sense of humor, but funny to watch!

Nope, each domicile's damage is paid by the reassurance. cellular homes do not pass flying in a twister, it is a delusion. A roof may be ripped off, per chance walls ripped, the domicile completely destroyed, yet even a smaller older domicile is 10 a great deal. it may properly be rolled on this is part, notwithstanding it gained't fly by the air. yet, if it did, that is unlike an vehicle, that you're predicted to maintain administration of. cellular homes are insured below residential guidelines. corresponding to a house coverage. If the neighbours' storage roof is ripped off and it caves interior the front of your position, your insurance will pay for it, no longer the neighbour. it extremely works the very similar with cellular domicile insurance. And in case you do not have insurance, demanding noogies it is your loss.
