Certain construction methods can help reduce damage from both hurricanes and tornadoes. Installing hurricane ties in the roof-wall connection reduces the chances that the roof will be torn off. Getting a house without a gabled roof is also recommended, as gabled roofs are more susceptible to wind damage. You can also have extra touch glass in the windows. Most house windows cannot withstand winds over 100 mph, but some types can hold up in winds of 120 and even 140 mph.
