Yes, mobile homes are death traps in just about any tornado. Even the homes are either old or flimsily constructed. Increasing building codes might help, but then how would the people living there afford new homes with more stringent building codes? This part of the country is by and large, quite poor.

Yeah there was a lot of wicked footage from that night.

I'm sure there'll be lots of similar footage that comes out from these tornadoes in the following days. Doorbell cameras and everything else have made it much easier for footage like this to be passively captured and discovered after the fact.

The eeriest tornado footage I've seen was caught by a doorbell camera during the December 2021 outbreak near the town of Mayfield which was devastated by the tornado caught here. It's scary as hell.

I imagine these tornadoes from last night's tornadoes will be as bad if not worse.
