Honestly, every year we hear about houses getting destroyed by tornados (and people getting buried under). They seem to be mostly wooden houses. So, why not build concrete houses, atleast in the high risk disaster prone areas?

If a tornado directly hits something, it’s probably fucked. The cost of making it not fucked is wayyyy more expensive than the risk of being hit by one. Hell if you live in a cheap house it realistically could double the cost of building it to tornado proof. Only like military or some shit would do that.
Now proofing your house for being near a tornado is much more common and more worth it. Shit like reinforcing windows. This prevents injury and damage from flying debris which is very possible to happen.
