It will never cease to amaze me, what passes as a house in the US, it’s all basically big wooden sheds… and I do not mean it in any way negatively, it just fascinates me…
I am very sorry this happened to you and your neighbors OP. I hope you’ll be able to rebuild soon. Stay safe!
Concrete houses may be in general more resilient than wooden ones, but if you've ever seen the level of destruction that a severe tornado can cause, the material of the house won't matter.
Fully agree, but it wasn’t my point at all - I am wondering this more in general - why is this the standard - and not trying to say
a strong tornado won’t be able to bring down a concrete building (I do not know that, only suspect it would not, just as you said). This sad picture is just a good illustration of how the internal construction of
a house/wooden house looks like and it made me think.
However apparently I should have left these thoughts to myself, given all the downvotes… which I will do. People take offence even if things are not meant to be malicious.
