It's not having money to afford that kind of home. And a good foundation and a shitload of bricks isn't going to protect you from a tornado, it's going to get destroyed just the same. It will be more expensive to replace, especially if you can't afford insurance on your home.

a decently built home overhere would get it's roof trashed, the rest would sit right were it is (if you've taken the trouble to put in stormshutters.
Money or not, seems like an investment that would pay off in the long run.
I can understand the financial issue but having your entire home ripped apart isn't exactly my idea of getting the better deal.

The type of tornadoes they are dealing with will destroy anything that's not underground. Seriously.
