I live in the midwest, am not particularly afraid of storms, but after being hit with a tornado about 20 years ago & my sons house about 12 years ago, it made me a believer, when the sirens go off & the warnings are out, I'm heading for the basement with my dogs!
I live only 15 miles from the Atlantic, but am not particularly afraid of storms (lightening does freak me out, but that's a personal problem) - however, I have a huge respect for them.
I have never lived in a trailer, but have many friends who have at one point or another in their lives and so have been in many. I was at a friend's back in 1983 during a violent thunderstorm in Dover, Delaware - even knowing how freaky I am about T'storms she hands me her fussy 7 month old to hold while she, her husband and my fiance run around battening down. Everything was swaying - the noises outside were bizarre. We were OK, but the 1-ton concrete cover of the park septic system came loose and more than 2 dozen trailers were moved off their foundations, and one was knocked on it's side - that was only 2 away from us.
It took NWS 3 days to finally state what those of us there knew - a tornado went through that trailer park - a small one, but one nonetheless.
"Trailer parks" have changed over the years, but the older ones still exist, and they truly are hurricane and tornado magnets.
