They had some interesting reactions. Don't know that I'd be laughing the whole time.
Of course it was a trailer park.

Looks like a temporary village for miners, not a trailer park.

The last thing you want to do is hop in your car/truck with a tornado, but [I]damn[/I], that view at 1:46 is gorgeous.
Dunno what would have been the safest place for that situation if you were stuck in the path. Under the decks? But that last shot of it was beautiful.

god, the tornado is magnificent. The shots he got were outstanding! his laughing was good, too.

Tornadoes fascinated me as a kid (Hell, they still do) and I did a lot of research. Most of it is still intact too. But still, flat ground, no basements. Pretty sure under the deck would be the best place.
It'd have to be a pretty rough tornado to pick up a super duty. Considering the roll bars and whatnot, it was probably a safer decision than the damn plywood and fake-siding on the trailer. Under the deck would be a last resort, if you didn't have a heavy vehicle around. When people say to run into a ditch, they usually mean it in the case that you have no vehicle, no home, and you're hitchhiking off an interstate in the middle of nowhere.
You hear that? Those are the shit winds that are blowing.
Damn that was a very pretty tornado.
