Using only that for a whole house would be foolish. Not only would it not make it the slightest bit safer against a tornado, it would cost an incredible amount and could possibly make the weight of the house tilt it in most arable soil.

Plus, we have an incredible amount of forest around here.
Looking at the Fujita Scale it seems that solid houses can resist at average and even strong tornados. I understand the costs and the amount of free wood, but the question is still there, wouldn't it be an investment to take into consideration?
