With all due respect, I beg to expand on your comment. We were here during the Feb 2, 2007 tornado. The Alexa Villas off of Timmonsville Way in Mallory are cement Villas. Most of the Villas in that group had their roofs torn off and their home’s furnishings sucked out. So yes the walls were intact and for the most part withstood the tornado but it still managed to wreak havoc on their homes and their lives. Neighboring vinyl Villas two streets away had minimal damage to their vinyl siding that was relatively easy to repair. The point of my post, there’s really not much protection here from a tornado. Better to go with the look you like.
