My understanding why tornadoes strike trailer parks is that trailers are typically constructed of metal.
A thunderstorm powerful enough to develop a tornado contains a very high electrically charged potential
that generates severe lightning. The lightning will take the path of least resistance to ground and the
storm will track on this path. This path can be a river or it can be metal structures on the ground.
