You forgot to mention the windows. Once a home is compromised, you may have water damage depending on how long and heavy the rain. If your walls withstood the tornado or hurricane, the inside can be completely destroyed. Even a small hole can lead into a bigger problem. With water, you have the potential for mold. It is silly to believe you are safe or better off in any home. Take care of yourself and loved ones, and know that you will have to rebuild. That is all any of us can do.
