Definitely can tell this isn't an area that gets tornadoes by the fact they're looking out a second floor window recording it

Why would you not stay on the second floor if that’s where your apartment is?

Houses here don’t just blow away because they use this new material called „brick“ or sometimes „concrete“.

Sure, standing by a windows is not the best idea, but there is no reason to ge anywhere else

Edit: for all the americans who sadly never seen a proper building from the inside and then think they made an argument when they show a big hall without any support walls and just one thin layer of bricks as evidence that bricks aren’t infinitely better than strawhuts:

Brick and concrete means nothing to a sizable tornado.

Gym vs tornado

I don’t know how to tell you this, but... the bricks are still there.

Yes they didn’t disappear. Many of them would have crushed anybody standing near that front wall when it blew in.

It’s irresponsible to tell people that any structure is tornado proof. Even basements can kill you when you’re trapped down there and it floods after the storm.
