A Tornado Warning

In areas prone to tornadoes, regulations should be passed requiring trailer parks to have storm shelters, perhaps one for every four occupied units, wherein the cost of initial installation and later maintenance could be split between the owner of the facility and the tenants. All too often deaths that could otherwise have been prevented when these storms hit mobile home parks, but residents had no safe(r) place to go. The bit of advance warning weather detection technology gives us now in many cases is great but meaningless if no shelter is available in a particularly exposed community.
