JR, you can’t beat concrete vs wood. This is why there’s so much destruction after a storm because of the mindset that wood is stronger than reinforced concrete. When a storm blows through a suburb the homes are all leveled. When the storm blows through a city the buildings still stand after a storm.

The video raises more questions than answers. In the home that was destroyed, it appears that there are no anchor bolts, ties and hold downs that would be required in a standard residence. This is why the home "slides" off the subfloor - one could assume the other has some type of anchoring system. I also question the way the siding is ripped off the demo home, yet stays intact on the "fortified" home. How is this accomplished - 'IF' all things are equal.

There is another way. I will tell you now. After you build your "normal" box house you then build a curved circular masonry wall around the outside of the house with space between the house and the wall, You can plant shrubs around the wall to visually break up the look. The wall will need to be 6 feet high if possible. You are trying to keep the wind from grabbing the corners of the structure. This can be tested also in a wind tunnel test. The wind must be similar to what a tornado would be. Remember my name. I do not have the money to protect my idea.

I have my own theory for a tornado proof house. Let me know if you think it will work? simple one ridge roofline house. 20 foot wide and X feet long. Whatever length you desire. Stairs on both ends of the house down to the basement. Dual sump pumps with backup generators/batteries. The basement has two layers of cement block. The outer layer supports the main house. The inner layer supports steel plate spanning the basement. Bolt it down with anchors in the concrete filled concrete block. All the bedrooms are in the basement with everything valuable in the basement. Everything above the steel plate is designed to break away and be replaceable. If you have concrete walls above the steel plate, like ICF, then it is more difficult to rebuild. Sleep safe knowing your family is safe. Insurance would not need to pay as much to rebuild the house. The one problem I worry about is negative pressure popping the steel plate off.

Lol “why do they come apart?!” Maybe cos most houses in tornado alley are built from wood! In Britain, almost every single house is built from bricks and stone. We may not have had ef4 and ef5 tornados, but we still get them. We get microbursts and storms and everything’s still standing. Honestly 🤦🏻♀️

You're building houses out of matchsticks and paper? Uhm, guys, I'm from Germany, we occasionally get a little storm, nothing too serious, strongest in recent history was 1999 - storm that was roundabout a cat. 2 hurricane equivalent. And my house is built out of reinforced concrete.

@Ozone reinforced wood. You see where the problem is? We build houses with reinforced concrete nowadays.

@Ozone Do you seriously believe the bs you're typing? If so, you might want to get some education on the matter. Let me explain so even you can understand: Tornado shelters are built from reinforced concrete because of the following reasons: 1. It's heavy (duh) and thus doesn't fly away as easily as wood does. 2. It's much more durable against flying debris (you might have heard that's an issue with tornadoes) 3. It's nothing about the flexibility. You don't want the building to flex, you want it to stay in place. Wood has way less structural integrity than reinforced concrete. Guess why these buildings stand while your cardboard and wood houses crumble. Please, if you don't believe me, educate yourself on the subject and don't sell your guesses as facts, that makes you look stupid. I know education isn't really a big thing in the United States, especially in rural areas, but you might wanna try it sometimes, it really helps with understanding. Trust in scientific facts, not something your uncle tells you when he's had half a bottle of tequila.

Yes fully grouted steel reinforced CMU Concrete Masonry Units as we call them in the US which most commercial buildings and schools are made off as well as Concrete roofs (yes you can make angled roofs out of Concrete too). That's one thing that I don't get about Europe is the walls are made of Concrete by why are the roofs made of tiles and not Concrete? Also bullet proof windows and strong tornado proof doors

@Ozone Well then strong steel motorized window shutters as well. 10 or even 12 inches CMU blocks ALL cavities fully grouted and reinforced with steel Concrete roof as well Even if it does get destroyed there is less damage and way more left of the house then in a stick built house. Besides a stck built house can easily get destroyed by an EF2 tornado a Concrete house not so much and EF5 tornadoes are very rare and in my opinion it's always better to choose the best and strongest option even though it's not 100% indestructible agenst the strongest of storms

@Ozone You should go to Europe especially Poland then you'll see how thick the walls are in those buildings
