The way in just plain logic is that there should be a Strong inner structure plus with a strong outer Build. the reason for the inner is because of pressure under a tornado Many houses collapse inward in some cases so it is a smart idea hope you think this helps!

∙ 9y agoBuilding structures with strong materials such bricks can help. Other steps to reducing tornado damage might include installing hurricane ties in the roofs of buildings, placing support beams close together, ensuring a good connection to the foundation (preferably with steel), and installing extra strong windowpanes.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the type of building, its quality of construction, and the intensity of the tornado.
Weak tornadoes (EF0 and EF1) can break windows, strip away roofing material, and take down gutters and awnings. Some weak buildings, such as barns, may collapse.
Strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3) will remove roofs and sometimes collapse walls in most buildings. Some structures may be completely destroyed. Very strong structures will remain standing but still take significant damage.
Violent tornadoes (EF4 and EF5) will completely destroy most buildings, either leveling them or blowing them away. Even the strongest buildings will suffer major damage.

∙ 7y agoYou can install hurricane ties in the roof, which make it less likely that the roof will come off in extreme winds. If the roof stays on, the walls will be less likely to collapse. You can also install hurricane glass in your windows. That being said, the house still probably won't withstand the full force of an EF3 or stronger tornado. You can also install a tornado shelter in your house. The shelter will not prevent your house from being destroyed, but it will protect you from injury. Some of these shelters can withstand even an EF5 tornado.

Does low pressure in a tornado cause buildings to explode as the tornado passes overhead?
No. The pressure drop inside a tornado is not enough to cause buildings to explode. Tornadoes tear buildings apart with wind and debris.
Is this a myth or a fact the low pressure with a tornado causes buildings to explode as the tornado passes overhead?
It is a myth. The pressure drop inside a tornado is not large enough to cause significant damage. Buildings are torn apart by the powerful winds of a tornado.
How many buildings did the tri-state tornado destroy?
It is estimated that the Tri-state tornado destroyed approximately 15,000 homes, which would have accounted for the majority of the buildings destroyed.
In which direction is the position of Tornado Ally shifting if it is and how is this going to affect intensity?
The area of greatest tornado activity appears to be shifting northward. It is unknown how this might affect tornado intensity.
What happens if a tornado strikes the ground?
Air at ground level will then spiral into the tornado and reach great speeds. Any buildings or trees the tornado hits will be damaged or destroyed by the winds.
How does a tornado affect people animals buildings?
People and animals may be killed or injured in a tornado and lose their homes. Buildings may be damaged or destroyed.
Does low pressure in a tornado cause buildings to explode as the tornado passes overhead?
No. The pressure drop inside a tornado is not enough to cause buildings to explode. Tornadoes tear buildings apart with wind and debris.
Is this a myth or a fact the low pressure with a tornado causes buildings to explode as the tornado passes overhead?
It is a myth. The pressure drop inside a tornado is not large enough to cause significant damage. Buildings are torn apart by the powerful winds of a tornado.
What does a tornado eat?
Tornadoes do not eat. They are not alive. Tornado often destroy buildings and trees, but they do not eat them.
How many buildings did the tri-state tornado destroy?
It is estimated that the Tri-state tornado destroyed approximately 15,000 homes, which would have accounted for the majority of the buildings destroyed.
Can lightning stop a tornado?
No, lightning has little to no affect on a tornado.
What impact do tornadoes have on the built environment?
Depending on the strength of the tornado most buildings will sustained some degree of damage. A very strong tornado will destroy most, if not all buildings in its path.
In which direction is the position of Tornado Ally shifting if it is and how is this going to affect intensity?
The area of greatest tornado activity appears to be shifting northward. It is unknown how this might affect tornado intensity.
Who does a tornado affect?
A tornado affects anyone unfortunate enough to be in the path of one.
What happens when a tornado strikes?
A tornado produces very powerful, rotating winds. Buildings and vegetation in the path of the tornado may be damage or outright torn apart by these winds. If the tornado is strong enough, it will pick up pieces of buildings it destroys, creating fast-moving debris that adds to the destruction. Flying debris, collapsing buildings, and being picked up and thrown by the winds may lead to injury or death.
What is true low pressure with a tornado causes building to explode?
No, low pressure in a tornado does not cause buildings to explode. That is a common myth.
What happens if there is a super tornado?
If by a super tornado you mean an EF4 or EF5 buildings will be completely destroyed, some completely blown away.
