Tornado Tragedies

[Zaraki]

After hearing a lot of updates on the heavy storms and deaths because of the hurricanes, I hope you guys (mainly the people from Tennessee, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Alabama and Mississippi) are all safe.

 

The news reports show massive amounts of damage and the people who are sad to see their properties lying in ruins..

 

 

 

Be safe!

 

 

 

 

The main thing I notice, is that most of those houses aren't even made with bricks, but only made out of wooden beams or big parts of wood. Is there a specific reason?

A huge amount of homes in Canada and the states are built out of wood structures (with concrete foundations). Not sure of why, either it's cheaper or easier to build dunno.

because in canada we have a lot of wood that's why. well it's a friend who told me that.

Yeah that's pretty much just how houses are built around here. Wood is cheap and common.

I hope everyone's safe! If not, well, that makes me sad just to think about it

Lots of reasons - cheaper, takes less time, design, etc. Brick houses take exceptionally longer because they have to be laid out by hand.

 

Lol I just lived in Tennessee about a year and a half ago

RIP in pieces Scubatoaster

I thought that it would be too dangerous in case of a hurricane to have bricks flying around, and therefore no houses with bricks.

 

Silly me

Hope everyone is safe!

R.I.P to people that have died in this Tragedy
