How can one house be destroyed by a tornado when the other house across the street look perfect?

There are a few possible explanations for this. First of all, the winds of a tornado can be focused on a very small spot, strong enough that the winds can destroy one house, but small enough to miss one across the street. This is especially true of multivortex tornadoes where the strongest winds are found in realtively small subvortices that form within the main vortex. In tornadoes such as these the subvortices may have very destructive winds while the rest of the vortex is only strong enough to cause minor damage.
Quality of construction also matters. Often trailer homes are destroyed by winds that would only cause moderate damage to a sturdy house.
