How I did it when a dude named Matthew Came Calling.. I was 3 miles from the mandatory evac line. the park owner SPLIT.. i'd have liked to but not practical.
Brought in awning.. Secured as best as I could.. If you can bring in slides. Road it out.. No damage worth talking about (there was some "damage" but I'm not sure it was from the storm believe it or not).
Not my first "high wind" have slept in gusts over 100 MPH with no problem. NO awning out, but no problem The awning is the biggest wind issue.
Also if you know what direction the wind will come from park facing downwind but I was "Quartered" (The worst position) in those 100+ gusts.
Best option for tornados (By folks did you know a Tornado makes a Hurricane look tame? Yup. an Class 5 Hurricane is about a 2 on the tornado scale.. Just much much bigger).
Best option on both Hurricanes and Tornadoes (Fire, Flood, Blizzard, Earthquake, Landslide, and all other disasters) is be somewhere else. But that's not always an option.
(note. that last paragraph is the official right answer to an official Government Test Question).
