After reading this, you now know buildings of steel reinforced concrete can withstand tornadoes, while buildings constructed of brick, masonry and wood frame do not survive.

A home like yours built of fragile brick would not survive a tornado.

If you were intelligent, you would have a steel reinforced concrete shelter to take cover in, to protect you from the flying fragments of your brick home as it is destroyed.

Even a high school drop-out like yourself should not be so afraid of knowledge and learning new things.

This is a photo of a brick home which collapsed in a tornado in Norman Oklahoma. The engineered wood roof supports are sprawled across the remains of the brick walls.

Wood frame buildings across the street remain undamaged.
