We had a utility trailer for years and it never got blowed around none at our house in OKC. We kept it parked between two sheds and under a tree though.

Back before I was borned my family had a two story house in Pryor, OK. It was 2 blocks north of main street. My dad had a covered box trailer kinda like a U-haul trailer. A tornado went down main street tearing things up. When it was all over the house and big trees on the property looked fine. However the trailer was missing. One of the girls was the first to go upstairs with the kids rooms were. She screamed as soon as she looked in the girls bedroom. Though the roof looked fine from the outside the upstairs ceiling sheet rock was ripped up, AND the trailer was sitting in the middle of the girls bedroom. When they went to repair the roof they found the roofing and joists had been lifted up, the sheet rock scrambled, the trailer deposited upstairs, and the roof including joists set back on unscathed AND nail for nail.

They repaired the roof without taking it apart again, and got the trailer out by disassembling it. When they put the trailer back together they just made a short sided utility trailer out of it instead of a box trailer.
