According to Science News, if you pick a random point in the part
of the USA that is most prone to tornadoes, you can expect that
point to be hit by a serious tornado about once every 4,000 years.
That's not enough to worry about.

Except that tornados aren't distributed randomly across the US; there
are areas that get a lot of them and there are areas that get few of
them.

Of course, even in areas which get lots of tornados every year,
people still build ordinary frame houses. And of course, some folks
still live in those tornado magnets, mobile homes.
