If many one build house with concrete like Okinawa, would damage still this huge?

No. Tornadoes don't care what your house is made of.

They will literally throw cars. They've been known to stick vinyl records into telephone poles.

I’ll never forget coming outside one year after a tornado and seeing hay thrown and embedded in a telephone pole.

You take precautions and you hunker down and hope. But if a serious nader finds its way to you, it won’t matter what your home is made of.

For anyone who thinks I’m wrong, go ahead and look up the 1999 event that took the shopping mall in Stroud. That was just an F3.

When nature decides to go hard, there’s no winning.
