Why are houses made of wood rather than concrete in the tornado zones in the USA?

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?

Why doesn’t Japan build tsunami proof buildings? The answer is that it’s not practical. It’s barely possible and would be prohibitively expensive.

Tornados are the same.

Comedian ron white has a bit about this (his is about hurricanes but a tornado is just a hurricane on land so it still applies)
