"Strong, sturdy brick or stone buildings will protect me from a tornado."
MYTH: While such buildings will provide more protection in a tornado than a mobile home or
timber frame structure, the winds of a tornado can easily launch a 2x4 through a brick wall, and can
cause even the sturdiest of buildings to experience roof or wall failure.

Unless a structure was purposely built like a bomb shelter dome to withstand a tornado, there is no chance. Maybe if you have a 4 inch concrete floor above you and you're living downstairs, but the winds will still wreck havoc.twisted-sign-tornado-damage-town-moscow-ohio-storm-destruction-barn-CFRH7F.jpg"Strong, sturdy brick or stone buildings will protect me from a tornado."

Yea I know they deliver peak higher speeds but hurricanes can be slightly lower but sustained over hours. If you build with hurricanes in mind you relatively safe.
I have lived through both. Tornadoes can have higher wind speeds and they do occur much more frequently (about 1,000 times per year in the US). But if a tornado were to touch down, it may do little damage, if any, because of the path and the typically short duration of the touch down event. That is not the case for hurricanes where wind and rain are threats, along with flooding in low-lying areas.Musical Doc wrote:j.o.e wrote:Dizzy28 wrote:j.o.e wrote:Shouldn’t we be building for Hurricane standards ?

I disagree, a hurricane cannot pick up objects and throw them miles away... a tornado can, probably because of the way in which the wind operates. The main threat of a hurricane is flooding while the main threat of a tornado is the wind
