It’s possible to build a specially reinforced room in a house that will survive everything up to an F4 (F5 is probably doable but much more expensive, but F5s are absurdly rare.)
A lot cheaper to go underground if possible.

Am 60 miles north of Houston. We have a high water table. Dig a hole here and you have a water well.
Honest to God, people, this one does scare me - have that here and I’m dead and so is the Yorkie. There is nothing underground here.
humblegunner: do you have an underground shelter? I know you are Mr. Prepared, let me know if you have underground - I’m going to your house if there are severe tornados and you have underground.
