Another thought didn"t see posted here and may or may not make sense for what you want but thought I would throw it out... A direct or close direct hit by a powerful tornado or storm is tough to shelter against and depending on your locale, might not ever really happen. Lot of variables as previously discussed here. Going back many many years in a disaster design course I took, most wind storm injuries are due to flying debris. Flying debris is much easier to build or design against than a direct hit and the odds are you"ll experience that vs a direct hit (odds that is, but I"m a terrible gambler). The other thing to keep in mind is access and getting to that shelter safe and sound and in a hurry - and with family, etc. The general consensus then was to construct a room or designate a room (in your case maybe a slab type addition next to the trailer) and concrete block the walls or if frame construction, sheath with a dense heavy wire mesh and some cement board to protect against the flying debris. This doesn"t get you to 100%-any-wind-possible protection but is sufficient for a majority of the issues. The other item that was a recurring theme in the course was to have a good insurance agreement with the "big guy in the sky"

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
