A tornado hit a trailer park! :eek:
I know, but it had to happen sooner or later. ;)
I have a theory about tornadoes and trailer parks:
Karma. Mobile homes are designed to be mobile. But they're not. They sit in one place, in complete defiance of their nature. Well, eventually, the built-up tensions comes to a head and a tornado springs forth to restore the balance by flinging the mobile homes all over the place. :)

That's a thought. I have a cartoon in my Permanent Collection, from Non Sequitur, I believe, that shows God making tornadoes by swirling His Finger in the clouds. Two angels sit nearby and one is saying, "You'd think by now they'd figure out that he just doesn't like trailer parks."

What I can never understand is the tv interviews with the survivors.
There's always the inevitable 6 fingered yokel drawling, "Wuhl, ma traila git hit ba ah ternada agin".
Why don't you just move?! That's why they're called trailers!

Because news stations love victims. It makes them look like they care.

That actually makes a ridiculous amount of sense. Yay!

You wish Sam Kinnison wasn't dead so he could do a routine about trailer parks and tornadoes. "IT'S A TRAILER! MOVE IT SOMEWHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TORNADOES!!!!!!!"

There's actually an economic reason they don't move - they can't afford to. It's no accident the cheapest housing is trailer parks located in tornado prone areas.
If the poor people living there could afford to live in safer housing, they would most likely do so.
(And your ethnic prejudicial and discriminatory stereotyping is no better than if you had said "the damn niggers were too stupid to flee New Orleans, so they deserve what they got.")

Tornadoes can happen most anywhere, though over 90% occur in the US.

Yeah, I know. They do happen more often in the Midwest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado#Geography), however.

It is kind of funny how the media likes to portray certain events. Down here in Florida a couple of years ago during the nasty hurricane season. The media only focused on the trailer parks and not the houses. That's because a lot of the houses held out fairly well vs the Hurricanes. As for the Trailer parks they were devastated and the national media only showed the devastation of Trailer parks.
To the world: Trust me Florida has houses. Strong Houses. We are NOT a state with only trailers or mobile homes. We do Indeed have houses. :D

You do realize I live about 5h ours away from there, right?
And yes, it's always the trailer parks that get messed up during hurricanes and tornadoes, even though they're MOBILE HOMES.
Though the term "mobile home" actually means they're only mobile during a twister.
Sucks to the victims though :eek: I had to endure the same storm system :(.
