If you live in a mobile, get out! Even if it is tied down, you are probably safer outside. If your community has a tornado shelter, get there fast. If there is a sturdy permanent building within easy running distance, seek shelter there. Otherwise, lie flat on low ground away from your home, protecting your head. If possible, find an open area away from trees and cars that can be blown onto you.
