Tornadoes are extremely destructive, but they are also extremely limited in the scope of their destruction.
And they can strike pretty much anywhere in the US east of the rocky mountains (80% of the US population).
Building tornado-proof houses for so many people over such a vast geography would be extremely expensive.
Our society decided long ago that plentiful housing was more important than tornado proof housing.
