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

Question

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?

Answer 1

I feel like because not really anywhere else in the world gets tornadoes like we do in the US, people don’t understand that they just fuck shit up and are relatively unpredictable chaos. Like they think of the three little pigs story and think the tornado is the wolf lol.
