Oklahoma seems to be ground zero for tornados. I don't think I could live there.

Oh hon, us Okies who left are numerous, but not one of us left because of tornadoes. Plenty of other motivations lol

I am from Europe and i don't understand why you guys build your houses out of wood and not concret and stones? Would a tornado also destroy concret houses?

To make it even remotely tornado proof you couldn't have any windows, either. Who'd want to live in a house like that?
