    You don’t have to repair it if you can’t break it.

    Try breaking a brick wall with your head or fists, lol.

      Try rebuilding a brick wall after a tornado, you’re going to spend so much more money and you won’t have a house for a lot longer

        That’s the other side of the confusion. You build houses out of sticks and paper, and live in somewhere called Tornado Alley…

          Yeah, I live in an area prone to tornadoes. Not as tornado prone as the midwest, but we’ve seen tornadoes in this area.

          A particularly notable one touched down in a town not far from here, in the business district. It tore down multiple steel framed cinder block buildings including a Lowe’s Home Improvement Center and a Tractor Supply Company.

          A big bad wolf might not be able to blow a brick house down, but an EF3 tornado certainly can.

        I’d like to see a tornado tearing up a brick house as easily as a wood and drywall house.
