The problem is that I’ve seen videos from after storms from the us and the houses are easily destroyed compared to other countries
Videos from other countries that I’ve seen (excluding countries with bad building standards like china) have buildings that have stood up better to or completely survived storms
No other place on earth has more tornadoes (over 200 MPH/320 KPH air speeds) than the US.
Europe gets about 200 to 300 a year.
The US gets about 1200.
Europe gets about 2 hurricanes each year (wind speeds of about 130 MPH/210 KPH).
The US gets about 12 each year.
If you think any regular home structure can survive a direct 200 MPH hit, you are delirious. And for most other storms, having a structure that has some level of flexibility is far superior to some brittle structure made of brick or concrete that doesn’t flex. That wood structure will take a hit and bounce back, while brick, clay or concrete will crack and collapse. Neither is a great situation, but we also have vast forests to cut down for lumber, while Europe, not so much.
I always wondered why american houses are destroyed so easily in storms
I now have my answer
Yea it takes a few decades to get this far
So what would you build a house out that can take 400 kph debris storm
I would leave it to the experts knowledgeable in the field to help engineer and design a house like that and let them manage the building
Yeah that what they would pick that kind of house.
Tell me you know nothing about construction without telling me you know nothing about construction.
