No. Trailer parks are no more likely to be hit than any other patch of land of the same size. However, because trailer homes are weakly built and often not tied down, they are more easily destroyed. A trailer home can be completely destroyed by a tornado that would only remove the roof of a typical site-built house. The means that a tornado that hits a trailer park will generally cause more severe damage and is more likely to kill or seriously injure people and therefore more likely to attract media attention.
