    Try rebuilding a brick wall after a tornado, you’re going to spend so much more money and you won’t have a house for a lot longer

      That’s the other side of the confusion. You build houses out of sticks and paper, and live in somewhere called Tornado Alley…

      I’d like to see a tornado tearing up a brick house as easily as a wood and drywall house.

        It doesn’t need to tear it down, just weaken it enough that it’s no longer structually sound.

        Easy, can your brick house handle a 400 kph car flying into, follow by chunks of trees, houses, ice ball the size of grapfruit.

        They do, its a tornado. They destroy anything weaker than a nuclear bunker.
