claim: A tornado carried a mobile home for 130 miles and left its occupants unharmed.
origin: A purported news article reporting that a tornado carried a mobile home for 130 miles from Oklahoma to Kansas, leaving the occupying family (one of whom was amusingly named â€œDorothyâ€) unharmed, was circulated on social media in August 2016: This article was originally published by World News Daily Report (WNDR) in May 2015, and opened as follows: < A family from Tulsa, Oklahoma, underwent the scariest experience of their life yesterday, when their mobile home was carried over 130 miles by a tornado, landing in a rural Kansas area. Five members of the same family were inside the building during its â€œflightâ€, and all of them have miraculously survived without injuries. 41-year old Dorothy Williams, was at home with her husband, her son, and her two brothers, when their mobile home was lifted off the ground by an F4 tornado. > While theÂ World News Daily ReportÂ article featured real photographs of tornado damage, the accompanying story about a mobile home being carried for over 130 miles was a fabricated one. The World News Daily Report web site is a well-known purveyor of fake news and states in its disclaimer that all of the siteâ€™s content is of â€œfictional natureâ€: < WNDR assumes however all responsibility for the satiricalÂ nature of its articles and for the fictional nature ofÂ their content. All characters appearing in the articlesÂ in this website â€“ even those based on real people â€“ Â areÂ entirely fictionalÂ andÂ any resemblance between them and any persons, living, dead, or undead is purelyÂ a miracle. >
