Really is it that unbelievable? Is it unbelievable that 120 mph winds could knock out homes made out of plywood and carton? Or even a trailer made out of cheap ass sheet metal or aluminum? \r

I just don't understand how building codes in cities that are ravaged by natural disasters such as tornadoes so frequently have some of the flimsiest civil codes around. In cities with seismic activity all building or homes should by standard have Grade 60 rebar. So therefore I think some of these home should at least be built out of concrete and steel?
Well Golleeeeeeeeee! I thought my sheet metal box woulda stood up to that thar blowin and stuff! I sure is shocked ma!
Best wishes and prayers to you and all those effected!
