After seeing the damage that can be done by an F5, it becomes obvious that it would be futile to attempt to design a structure to withstand that kind of wind.
The bright side (?) of tornados is that unlike hurricanes, their damage area is relatively small. Even if you live in an area that sees many tornados (as I did for over 20 years), the chances of your particular houses sustaining damage is very small.
