From 2018 to 2023, there have been 17 billion-dollar climate disasters involving tornadoes. The costs are expected to grow, but the U.S. is not helpless when it comes to tornado damage. Engineers know how to build stronger structures that can withstand high winds. Part of the challenge of creating more tornado resilience in the U.S. is that building codes are generally a local and a financial decision.

One hundred sixty-one people were killed in the Joplin tornado. The May 2011 Joplin tornado left behind almost $3 billion in damage, making it the costliest U.S. tornado on record. "Tornadoes are a big problem in the United States," said Anne Cope, chief engineer at the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. Based on estimated wind speeds and damage, tornadoes can range on a scale from EF0 to EF5. "The reality is, is that all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii, receive tornadoes."
