If you want a real tornado (and hurricane) proof house, you need concrete walls with rebar inside and also concrete flat roof with additional slanted metal roof on top. Then install impact windows, metal doors and high impact shutters. A hurricane will be a ride on the park for such house. A tornado might yank out the metal roof if it is a real strong tornado that goes right over your house, but you will still be able to be OK inside. projectiles will be stopped by the combination of impact windows and shutters or concrete with rebar for walls. You also need to make sure the house foundation is very deep to avoid the entire structure to be lifted by a tornado. Price? either you have a very very VERY good job to be able to afford it, or you just won the lottery.
@@protonneutron9046 I May Be Mistaken, But A Well Built Geodesic Dome Is Supposedly One Of The Most Sturucturally Sound Structures That One Can Construct.
@@VerifyTheTruth You are mistaken if you think a standard geodesic dome can stand up to a powerful tornado. They don't. They ARE much better than a box frame wood house but FAR inferior to something like a monolithic dome.
Right.. but let's not forget that 95% of tornadoes are f2 and f1. Why the "all or nothing" thinking? Hurricane clips won't do much for 300mph winds, but they will certainly help with the avg 80-150mph
@@protonneutron9046 But I'm not. You're right, a powerful tornado will obliterate mosy any residential structure. My point is that most tornadoes are not "powerful", relatively speaking. Take some building science and structural engineering classes.
@@9mmkahr You are right, it wouldn't survive a EF5 or C5 hurricane but these straps will prevent the roof from weakening or coming off in smaller tornadoes like EFU-EF1's and small hurricanes like C1 or depressions I believe these straps are required in new homes in Florida now as they are prone to hurricanes not sure if they are required in tornado ally or not yet, but when you're face to face with a tornado any sort of strengthening of the structure will help to give you a chance of not loosing your house.

Garden garage doors. Reinforce all panels. Most Roofs fail from wind blowing garage doors out first.

Build underground .
Geodesic Dome Structures.
nope. Tornadoes flatten those
@@protonneutron9046 Use Concrete. [And/Or Various Other Materials]

crazy you are lucky tornado did not bulldozed your house, no such thing is tornado proof roof.
you have to make the entire thing in concrete.
u derground
B.S. a powerful tornado will rip the roof or just push the walls in
