Correctly installed concrete roof tiles should not fly off the roof in a wind storm. I have them on my current home in Hawaii and they are rated to withstand wind speeds higher than most all typhoons. They are both heavy and nailed to the wood support strips below with ring shank nails. If you get hit by a tornado, the roof tiles will be the least of your worries.
