I remember hearing that Europe doesn’t use drywall nearly as much. A benefit of drywall is cost and repairability, but is basically glorified paper, yes.
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.

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…
I don’t build houses, nor do I live in Tornado Alley lol
I think that was an empirical “you”, not you specifically…

I’d like to see a tornado tearing up a brick house as easily as a wood and drywall house.
It doesn’t need to tear it down, just weaken it enough that it’s no longer structually sound.
Easy, can your brick house handle a 400 kph car flying into, follow by chunks of trees, houses, ice ball the size of grapfruit.
They do, its a tornado. They destroy anything weaker than a nuclear bunker.
Here you go.
