Are you joking?
How do you think those cement block underneath it would hold up under a good storm?

I wouldn't stack any house on concrete blocks...but steel girders buried in bedrock encased in concrete is another matter.
Additionally, if I were living in tornado alley, I would have a storm shelter below ground.

Are you sure they’re concrete blocks? Even if they are, they’d hold up fine if they were anchored onto a good footing with rebar, and the cavities were filled with concrete. Folks use those for foundation walls all the time.

How do you think those cement block underneath it would hold up under a good storm? If those are reinforced concrete with good footings, I suspect they'd hold up quite nicely.
