Why are houses made of wood rather than concrete in the tornado zones in the USA? 1.30K viewsJanuary 1, 2024 Question99.16K March 26, 2023 0 Comments 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?

So something going over 100 MPH and throwing object at a house, brick or not, is gonna cause a lot of damage. You are viewing 1 out of 69 answers, click here to view all answers. Register or Login
