Today, you can often hear the news that America blew detached houses wind. Such news seem a fairy tale, but it's true facts with a logical explanation.

Most often, the destruction of a large number of homes associated with strong storms, which in the United States happen quite often. Of course, many users on the network and simply spectators just talking about the need to build reliable home rather than cardboard constructions that fall apart at the first strong wind.

But it is clear that Americans are not the enemies of themselves and these houses are built with a certain logic and purpose. In this case, instead of destroyed houses erected frame are the same frame structure.

Famous tornadoes and hurricanes are carried mainly in the southern US states where warm enough year-round and there is no need to build a house with thick walls. Respectively,

there is no sense to invest big money in the bearing durability. This "fun" can afford only very wealthy people.

Do the same thin wall also makes no sense, because a strong storm is capable of breaking it, but the damage will be quite significant. With the destruction of the carcass of the building likely to survive much longer in comparison with the rubble of a brick wall.

Americans feel great money and are supporters of their property insurance. It is these two factors and determine their choice. Frame houses certainly in a strong tornado will be destroyed. More durable stone house if not destroyed at all, it will be significantly damaged.

Americans in the presence of a particular choice to make better decision for themselves - the ability to obtain insurance at the destruction of property and increase the chances of survival.

"Demolish and build a new" - a principle which is not perceived by all. But for him the Americans prefer to live. What is the point of spending a lot of money for the restoration of the destroyed brick house, if you can just tear it down and build a new structure of the skeleton for the same money?

We should not think that the Americans are to their lives more frivolously. In many homes there are special basement room and basement with a separate exit to conceal them in the event of a natural disaster.

If there is insurance against the destruction of the house of the impact on the construction costs of a new natural disaster housing or moving to a state with a more favorable climate will not be as big. And try to build "eternal" house does not make sense, since a strong tornado capable of destroying almost any building.
