Hamilton County had more tornadoes in the last 10 months than in the previous 60 years.
And during a tornado, you are 15 times more likely to die in a mobile home than in a permanent structure.
The numbers are frightening, but a few simple steps can improve your chances of surviving when the next devil wind comes.
"There is absolutely no guarantee that it's going to work, but there are certainly things you can put in place that greatly enhance your survivability," said Greg Carbin, a warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
