We deal with this stuff all the time in the South. We are the new Tornado Alley and it isn't just in the spring anymore. We have them year round and humor is one way of dealing with it. I fully expected to be out working in the mess all night, but my area was spared. BTW, there have been millions of jokes and memes about COVID and AIDS.

I didn't see any trailer parks trashed in this one either, which is unusual.

There were some individual trailers involved, though. One of the earliest reports was a wood frame house and a trailer with entrapment.

That twister's TPSR (Trailer Park Seeking Radar) Guidance system must have been out of WHACK (calibration) .

What does 'a trailer with entrapment' mean?

The previous post talked about a trailer park. One of the early reports I heard was at least one wood framed home and mobile home ("house trailer", or "trailer" in Southern speak) had been hit and there were people trapped in the debris. For whatever reason, the world of Emergency Services (Fire, Rescue, EMS, etc.) like to use the word "entrapment" instead of saying "trapped". We will hear "two vehicle MVA with entrapment" or "MVC times two with entrapment" instead of them saying "two car crash with people trapped".
