          Can you guess which state has never had a reported tornado. Sorry , but every state including alaska and hawaii has had tornadoes , and will always have.

            They are built out of wood because the folks who are building them cannot afford sturdier, safer structures.

              A popular system today is to use what they call "Superior Walls". Prefabricated cement, much stronger and priced about the same as wood. I'm amazed that people continue to rebuild rather than move.

                New York got hit by a couple of small tornados just a few weeks ago.
