Why do people insist on building wooden homes or living in trailer parks (neither of which are known for their strength in high wind situations) in places where tornados et al are a frequent occurence?
you're asking the wrong questions, because the storms we're talking about were not your typical storms. these were f5+ and obviously they destroyed things much stronger than mobile homes
also we're also not just talking about the same idiots rebuilding the same houses on the banks of the Mississippi river that floods the same time every year. Georgia is not exactly in the middle of "Tornado Alley" as it has been called. The areas affected are further south and west than the area you are talking about
I'm here on the coast - and I can tell you what it feels like to me...
We are moving into the tropical rainy season standard...but
...the air here on the coast seems to be superheating - more and faster than normal..
Usually the temperature across the south will raise evenly..
but with the edge superheating..and the cold air just pushing over it...
makes for a really violent transference..
i bet y'all are late on catching the hermetic allegory in every episode - parsons..?
thats pretty urban. - Capture pt

What I think is funny are all of the large and expensive homes being built on the fault lines in California. I wouldn't build a home near or on a fault line. Another question would be New Orleans, why move back? The city is a bowl which has pumps going 24/7 to keep the city from flooding.

About 30% of new orleans never came back after Katrina.
Also the homes in California are built on shock absorbers to withstand anything biggest earthquakes.
Generally the earthquakes in California have remained limited in loss of life as we haven't had man tsunami's

reminds me of when i went to visit my grandparents in hawaii back in like 92 and my granddad was giving me a tour of kauai and was grumbling about all the retarded rich people building big nice homes on the beach because a hurricane could come through at any time and wipe em out. the following year a massive hurricane shook their etch-a-sketch and all those homes on the coast were washed away. my grandparent's house in the highlands was mostly unharmed.
This guy shot some really good footage, the sound when it approaches you is so eerie, it's mesmerizing. So deadly, so beautiful, such a force of nature.
