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.
