De Lis, I've had conventional homes damaged by tornados and hurricanes in my lifetime; I've lived in a manufactured/modular home that was within 2 blocks of a tornado here in Austin, TX and not a shingle was ruffled. Our home in Silver Lake has been through 6-8 hurricanes over the years with absolutely no damage to the home. We did lose a palm tree from our front yard, but no damage to home. Plain truth is, if any home/building is a direct hit by a tornado, it's a goner!
