Not all, but some of the Villas are called Form Wall homes. Instead of using block, a frame is put around the home after the slab is poured. it is then pumped solid with concrete containing steel. Thus creating a solid wall home. it is more cost effective than a regular block home. They have some designer homes that are Form Wall also. For the money, it is the way to go.
As far as being in a Tornado and thinking block home will save you, I wish I had photos of a friends home in Oklahoma after the tornado he went thru. beautiful Home done in Red Brick and block and the whole deal. After the storm, even the basement was sucked out of the ground. So you never know what will happen
