...Dunno if she doesn't realize that's a tornado and not just a bad storm, or if she's just that oblivious.

Pretty much the same thing, innit?

Okay, as a German who has never experienced a tornado live, having seen many of them on video, I have some questions:
Is it possible for a concrete or even "just" masoned house to withstand a tornado (not F5, just a normal one)?
What would be the damage besides the roof and shingles?
Are the winds extreme enough to damage windows without them being hit by debris/trash?
What about cars outside? Thrown over? Or just damaged by debris?

Do a Youtube search for Moore Oklahoma tornado. They have been hit twice and where the 1/2 mile wide twister crossed it even tore up concrete roads.. There was nothing left of the brick homes other than rubble spread everywhere. It looked like an airfuel bomb went off in a very large area !

No, you read that wrong, not in Seattle. Quite a distance from Seattle actually.
