Most of what you see on TV is the white-trash ones. Normally the tornados don't hit them directly, the wind from a few miles away is strong enough to push or crush the homes when 100+ mph winds hit the house.

I have lived all over the United States - The Texas/Ok region is only place I have lived that the weather stations show how strong the winds are in front of the storms, this is before they show the storm radar. We have storm, hail and tornado sirens to warn us, everyone owns a weather cube.
