The park is located just off of Telegraph and Newport Rd. and it's owned and managed by Sun Communities.
Workers are seeing major damage to mobile homes and trees, but officials are waiting for the sun to come up to fully assess the damage.
A resident tells us they had very strong winds and there are about 1,100 homes inside the park.
Kayla Barton and Eric Szalka and their three young children are one of the families who live in the park. They were dreaming of selling and buying a home before the EF-1 tornado hit.
"In our son’s room, the ceiling is starting to cave in and in our bathroom, the ceiling is caving in as well," Eric says.
"It’s like when you see it in a movie and you think ‘Oh it’s probably not like that,’ it’s like that," says Kayla.
The family, who does not have home insurance and who are sleeping in the family camper, have started a GoFundMe account to help them recover.
