For-centuries, humans in the world have been hit by natural disaster or disease. Since were are an intellectual breed of primates,and scientific, you would think that, certain developed government’s, in the housing industry, would not leave everything to “natural selection” or, “survival of the fittest.” While we seek to call upon faith in natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, Tunisians, typhoons and monsoons;it is with respect for human life that we build safer and more durable homes. In areas such as Joplin and Tuscaloosa,homes that are grouped together in terms of buildings with hollow bricks, cement and steel beams that are asymmetrical will help people protect themselves.Single detached wood structured homes historically,can’t work there! Having mandatory underground safe proof shelters and disaster proof automotive(s), in these areas can diminished the total loss of lives and property. We need not be cavalier, and-leave our social life to chance; as we are not in the lower spectrum of the Animal Kingdom.(Opinion.)

There are some houses that are affordable, energy efficient, and tornado, hurricane, earthquake, and fire proof.
Look it up before you write an article saying they are not practical.

I have seen other countries especially in the Midlle east and Europe that use hollow blocks complete with concrete posts and steel rebars. I wonder if would that work instead of bricks or fortified cement.

Hello,i am a regular house contractor in the Philippines with a regular crew of 7.Many,if not most of the people worldwide knows that my country is located in the typhoon (hurricane) belt of Asia.In fact the Philippines withstands about 27 to 35 typhoon storms a year with only minimum damages when it comes to residential houses blown or smashed by winds gusting from a force of 70kph to about 190kph if it is a super storm.Now,the standing question is,Amd i qoute ” can a house be built that can withstand a tornado? “.My answer is yes!!!,and i am basing this to our experience.I have seen in actuality how a house is being built in the US in Canada and in Australia,and ai can actualy say that it is very different in terms of toughness and durability when it comes to how strong it can be under duress to a tornado wind gusting to a,lets say,90 to 160kph.I can safely say that an ordinary concrete house built in the Philippines is 5 to 8 times more tougher and durable than an ordinary house in the US.The secret?,the US uses bricks while we,uses hollow blocks complete with concrete posts and steel rebars.
