Well builders and people in teh states will build outta Partical board and sheet rock.. Which well get blown and broken way to easy.. They like to build nice houses which look awesome but are not sturdy to real winds and such.. Unlike in Japan (Okinawa) all houses are built outta concrete. On top of that they have a water tank on top of house and can be gravity feed to keep water in the house (so if water goes out) and the stoves are ran off propane so if electricity goes out you can still cook and boil water if you need clean water.. They just live there lives around it. On the other hand here they build cheap and run when shit happens.. ;o)
