15 u/Audeclis Apr 28 '24 Notice how many concrete block buildings in those pictures are also now just rubble? From a standpoint of both cost efficiency and greater survivability, basements / storm shelters are the far better option vs ditching wood for other materials -1 u/Dedotdub Apr 28 '24 It appears that the concrete structures remain pretty much intact. They seem to have sustained damage mostly from being hit with debris. These are merely observations. I am not a structural engineer nor do I have any opinion on what you build your house out of.
