Are these houses good shelters for tornados?
They don't look like they would be. That alone kills the tiny house for a huge chunk of the US :/.
You can have community tornado shelters.
I know they do that in trailer parks, but you still have to make it to the shelter. And there are a lot of people who would prefer to gamble than do that. Trailers at least have heft to them, and multiple walls to catch flying debris. You can duck into a bathroom for instance if things get real bad real quick.
Edit: but I clearly haven't thought this out as the people would otherwise be homeless and have 0 shelter
It’s in Canada.
Alberta and Saskatchewan do have some tornado risks, but it's not nearly as bad as central US.
If you build one big shelter for the neighbourhood its probably way more cost effective than per house.
