    That’s the other side of the confusion. You build houses out of sticks and paper, and live in somewhere called Tornado Alley…

        I think that was an empirical “you”, not you specifically…

      Yeah, I live in an area prone to tornadoes. Not as tornado prone as the midwest, but we’ve seen tornadoes in this area.

      A particularly notable one touched down in a town not far from here, in the business district. It tore down multiple steel framed cinder block buildings including a Lowe’s Home Improvement Center and a Tractor Supply Company.

      A big bad wolf might not be able to blow a brick house down, but an EF3 tornado certainly can.
