WRIGHT, Wyoming (AP) -- Residents had just five minutes warning before a tornado tore into a mobile home park, killing two people and destroying dozens of homes.

One person was still listed as missing Saturday, police said. About a dozen people were injured.

The twister touched down Friday afternoon in this coal-mining town of 1,500 people and was on the ground an estimated 10 to 15 minutes, destroying 40 to 50 mobile homes, scattering metal siding, insulation, home furnishings and debris throughout the town.

Contrary to popular beleif, tying your mobile home to a cinderblock does not make it tornado-proof.
 
Yes, here in mississippi the only thing that destroys trailers more than twisters is peoples crystal meth labs blowing up in there face.
