You guys don't get category five tornadoes in Europe. You'd be singing a different tune if you did. What do you think an F5 tornado would do to Paris? Your buildings aren't magical. The tornado would ruin everything in its path. These things pick up trucks and throw them through buildings.

Imagine a weather phenomenon that is akin to how muslims have taken over your country and destroyed it. That's a tornado, basically.
Australia know what I'm talkin' about. Theirs are made of fire down there though, so a bit different.
>>59465105
Yeah I asked a guy about build quality and tornadoes the other day.
Pretty much what you said. Apparently Euro quality housing would weather very low level storms, but anything getting to around T3 would be just as devastating and possibly even more dangerous, because it would be throwing even heavier shit about.
Makes sense to build houses out of cheap materials if they may need to be rebuilt often.

But we did have 1 massive cyclone in the 1970's and now all of the buildings within 100km of the coast are built to the same standards as a nuclear bunker. The place i lived in in Darwin had concrete backfilled and reinforced cinder block walls, the roof frames were anchored to the walls and the roofing iron had about 100,000 screws holding it to the battens. That's the kind of building codes that were introduced after only one event. And in america where they have tornado every year they keep building their houses out of match sticks and bible pages then complain when they blow away.

Unique weather conditions created by the way the rocky mountains and the vast expansion of plains beyond them cause air and pressure to flow across the united states. The area east of the rockies sees around a thousand tornadoes every year, the rest of the world only sees a handful.

The chances of getting fucked over by tornadoes are pretty low. You're more likely to get hit by a car or stabbed by "unruly teenagers".
Your point is kinda valid when talking about those people who keep sticking trailers in the same spots and get hit by them every year.
>>59465701
Is that supposed to be an example of a building that would survive a tornado? That would get fucked up by anything stronger than F3.
There are tornado resistant buildings, they look like concrete domes.
I think they look pretty nice, but most people don't want to live in bunkers.

Brick veneer may be common for McMansions like in California to build a gigantic hous on the cheap, but I live in tornado alley and most of the houses in white neighborhoods are actual brick. The older side of town has more wood or vinyl siding.
>>59466282
Older and blacker, that is
Actually I was wondering.. Why do americans build their houses from wood ? Why not superior cement like syria ?
Do you know that regular cement block apartments never have rats or even insects , they don't need isolation either .. Also wood has more fire risk, and doesn't stand after an earthquake or a flood..

ITT: people pretend to have architecture and structural engineering degrees
cement blocks would not be structurally sound when building large homes as they are very brittle and would start to crack under the force of their own weight.
It would also disallow for the structure to be in anyway architecturally appealing.
What I think you're looking for is the "concrete dome home", which can be structurally sound at large sizes and is a practical way to build a structure.

Not really. The worst storms only fuck up roofs. And thats because its tiles that are not nailed to the roof with 10 inch nails.
Generally the houses in europe would stay in better condition than the us ones. The question is if it matters?
From what i understand, its easy to rebuild a US house, mainly prefabricated wooden houses. Which fits the US style of life, where you don't necessarily stay for generations in the same house but move when the job requires it.
Its cultural differences and material availability.
Also im not saying a euro house would stay pristine, it would require repairs. But for the price of repairs in EU you could probably build one of those cheap american houses.

>>59466532
>ITT: people pretend to have architecture and structural engineering degrees
You are literally doing the same. I might have only 3 years of architecture education, but hey i work in a concrete plant. Concrete is literally only good for withstanding pressure as long as its pressure in 1 direction only, and not bending them.
Also concrete domes are FAR from practical. Jesus its impractical as fuck actually and pretty fucking expensive.
Do you want practical concrete housing?
Structural elements made of reinforced concrete, and fill the rest with bricks. Cheap, fast, reliable. The rest is up to the area you build in. Every place has issues, either earthquakes, storms, humidity, fires. There is always something, and as an architect its nice to keep that in mind.

Brick is just a veneer. The structural strength is in the wooden framing, and if this house was in the path of the tornado it would get ripped apart just the same.
At least American houses are spacious and decent looking. Now let's have look at what the proud tradition of German architecture has become...
The irony: Wooden houses actually have a long tradition in Germany.
seriously, have you ever noticed how tornadoes only happen in america? and that only white people chase them for some fucking stupid reason?
>>59466282
Before they had those sheets of half bricks, what you call "actual brick" was a brick veneer. It's confusing now that they have building supplies for cheap assholes.

Because they don't want to leave trace when they extinct.
>>59468067
What you are talking about is engineering and not architecture.
I mean if you make a square block out of wood or concrete brick does not matter. And murrican houses are spacious because land where they build those spacious houses is cheaper than in eurostan.

>>59464981
Shit happens when vortex winds in excess of 300 MPH wander over your home. There aren't many structures which aren't made of reinforced concrete that could stand up to those sorts of forces. People who live in areas prone to tornadoes have insurance, so this may suck ass but they'll rebuild.

houses are built to a code and are inspected at several stages. there's little that the workers can screw up that would compromise the structure.

Also that is not an issue at all, architecture adapts to local problems. You don't really have a town that is plagued by all those disasters at once.

this argument would be okay if living in a bunker was practical (only some of us do that)
also the only other country that encompasses such geographic diversity, regardless of size, would be China, maybe.
>>59468933
We are a tiny as fuck country and have everything except tornadoes. You dont need size for such geographic diversity. You need the right location.
We just happen to be in a place where the alps meet the sea, and where the flatlands meet the alps, also karst or whatever you call it for some fucked up floods or fires, depending on your need.
My point is everywhere you build you have a more likely and a less likely scenario, also harsher and less hars happenings. A tiny earthquake does not warrant building a japan style anti earthquake house, but if you live in earhquake valley they will probably be your first concern.
Also you could build a house like a fucking bunker and still make it comfy as fuck (but that would be quite pricey).
I always laugh when I see videos of people literally punching holes into the walls in U.S. houses.
All you faggots claiming that brick and cement housing wouldn't fare any better in tornadoes are literally retarded. All that happens is that the roof gets ripped out and that's it.

A "brick" house built in 1950 is infinitely more dangerous than one slapped together in TEH CURRENT YEAR for the sole reason that a regulator would come shut a contractor's shit down in a heartbeat if they didn't build it to code. Lead paint, aesbestos, all sorts of dangerous shit in houses in the 50s and 60s.
Want to know why "Fire" departments are doing 95% of their work on EMT calls nowadays? Because there are no fucking fires to put out since buildings are made in such a way as to NOT CATCH ON FUCKING FIRE so easily. They still can obviously, but it aint remotely like it was in the past where shit would go up like a box of matches.

Well yea, we had earthquakes that fall into 8-9 mcs scale, the blizzards in the picture i posted. Floods that ripped houses out and washed them away (i actually helped rebuilding a part of a dam damaged by such a flood here). The record speeds during storms were 150 mph wind gusts.
We dont have hurricanes, as our storms are either just wind and very little rain, or we have less windy extreme rainfalls.
For draughts i cant say much, as i have to agree, our small country with its geographic diversity wont be hit as hard by draughts as its easy to get water elsewhere in an extreme draught than it is for a place like the whole southwest.
But you can trust me that we do not lack extreme weather.

Incidentally, while the need for actual fire services has plummeted, the number of public sector employees working as firefighters has skyrocketed. If government were efficient, we'd have very few firefighters and mostly EMTs and paramedics available for response. BUT firefighters get paid more and the public views them as heroes, so their union (the IAFF) is basically untouchable.

Oh, oh, also people who keep talking about how murrican wood houses are a fire hazzard are literally retarded. Most of the shit is really fucking hard to burn if built to code, as almost all building materials have specific standards they need to adhere too.

You can even get wooden doors that take hours to burn trough.

>>59471352
Yes they do.
They have strip malls designed to look like that.
>>59464981
By building houses with cookie cutter blueprints using the cheapest materials possible, it allows more neighborhoods to be built more quickly and cheaply, allowing people to move away from the cities where all the niggers live. Even living in a tornado-prone area, the odds of a tornado hitting your particular house is low.
>>59470588
>with a brick lining at most
the brick used in american "brick houses" is not considered structural, as it is applied after the house has been built. the floors, walls, roof, etc., are supported by the wooden frame, not by the bricks.
some inexpensive houses are built using concrete blocks, in which case they are structural, but bricks never are structural in typical american house construction.

But what about when a tornado throws a jet airliner into them with which burns hot enough to weaken them?
This building was constructed (out of old boats) more than a 100 years before the USA was founded.
And it's still a working pub that's open every day. It's even survived being directly bombed in WWII.
This is the difference between quality buildings built to last, and throwing up origami suburbs on Designated Tornado Streets.

the foreigners in this thread can't grasp a few things:
1. tornado alley is not a specific path where tornadoes come regularly. the average american has never seen a tornado or been threatened by one. america is a huge place with lots of empty spaces.
2. american house construction is fine, and a decently built house will last forever if maintained properly.

You keep wheeling out natural disasters that only effect flyover states with three people and a dog living in them.

Kinda the crux of the issue right there.
Nice trips btw.
>>59467069
>basement
Yeah, about that. Most houses in the "tornado alley" part of the US have no basements. At all. Because there isn't any good way (or at least non-expensive way) to connect the foundation to proper bedrock or whatever in that kind of soil which makes such good farmland. So foundations "float" on the ground. A basement would even float right out of the ground, at the very least causing it to tilt.
You yuros don't understand.
This was only an EF-2.

>tornadoes only happen in america
This is actually true. Something about the combination of the Rocky Mountains and the great plains causes unique weather patterns that make tornadoes very common in much of the US.

wood has its benefits like holding up better in earthquakes, being more breathable, easier to heat, easier to combat mold and so on.
we also make major modifications to our homes fairly regularly by comparison.(adding on.)
but on top of all that, who gives a shit about the building material? i mean as long as its not something poorly suited to your environment do you really care more about it being brick than getting an extra 300 square feet or a more desirable location?
i'd take a wooden 2200 sq ft California split over a typical french brick cuckshed any day.
>>59473310
Because believe it or not, the fact that it uses a wood frame does not make it shitty. As long as they are built to code on a good foundation, they will last hundreds of years. Barring tornadoes or very bad floods.

>>59473529
The worst parts of the tornado ally, the states directly north of Texas, are unoccupied for the most part. Even north texas is largely unoccupied.
The reason anyone lives there is two fold: lots of it has oil, and the same weather that produces tornadoes produces rain for crops.
Also, Amarillo produces helium.

>>59473754
yep, its a coping mechanism , there are no flaws only fredums.
By labeling every shitty thing not as a flaw but as a feature they make you noncompliant and obedient.
>no no no goyim they don't have it better, you just have fredum.
You are also correct in your statement, you rather give 50k a year in taxes for corporate bailouts than to give 5k a year in tax for say healthcare if that healthcare also goes for niggers etc. Hatred in america is always downwards, you don't hate the leechers who stand above you in social class
anyways I'm just a roach who lived in states for 6 years so forgive my anecdotal observation, but at least in europe or roachistan when there is a flaw people accept it be it "oh well what can we do" or "well we should try to change" in murrica its sacrosanct.
I had a faggot who defended "no maternity leave" (I know many states in usa do have maternity leave but he was arguing against the concept of it) as fredum. So I don't bother debating. If sugar coating shitty servility is your thing who am I to argue.

>>59473816
The odds of being killed or getting property damage from a tornado, even in "tornado alley" are actually very small.
The recent storms in Texas only killed 11 and damaged something like 600 homes. A drop in the bucket compared to how many people inhabit the region.
It would be absolutely retarded to abandon so much fertile, resource rich land just because there's a few severe storms and and then.
On top of that, all you need to survive is a simple storm cellar, the house is insured and can be replaced.

Do have any idea what it would cost to tornado proof a house? You're an idiotic
I've been in construction for 15 years, we have maybe built 8 or 9 solid brick houses. I can only estimate, but they probably costs around 35% more than wood frame.
We can build you whatever you want, just pay us. We can build a house that could withstand a nuclear blast if you pay us enough.
Why doesn't everyone in the midwest just live in a retired nuclear missile silo? Tornadoes can't fuck that up.
