At least by me, foundations go 4+ feet deep and I don't think tornadoes ever suck them out of the ground

pax amor et lepos in iocando
"I've always dreamed big, those dreams just never included indoor plumbing" - Me
Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!
"Study books and observe nature; if they do not agree, throw away the books." ~ William A. Albrecht

The concept of structurally tying a building from peak to foundation is called continuous load path.
One modern building technique that weakens structures is the truss roof construction method. If used in a gable structure, a weakness is developed at the base of the peak along the wall. There is insufficient strength in the roof membrane to support the end peak areas. It is suggested that that be mitigated by placing 2 x 6 or larger lumber across multiple rafters to allow the system to be stiffened against the wind.

There is insufficient strength in the roof membrane to support the end peak areas. It is suggested that that be mitigated by placing 2 x 6 or larger lumber across multiple rafters to allow the system to be stiffened against the wind.
Older envelope construction used a central plank as a backbone with roof rafters attached to each side. This provided a single central structural member for the roof. With newer truss methods, pre-made trusses are constructed from smaller lumber, fastened together to make a longitudinal structural member. The roof sheathing is used to develop a structural membrane. This does not provide a gable end with as much resistance to flex forward and backward, only the sheathing and roofing provide resistance. With a backbone plank central member, the rafters are one part of the structural envelope tied at the peak with sheathing providing additional rigidity. By adding planks from gable end into the main body of the roof cavity, one is adding a structural rigidity to the ends. Without this, a hinge develops at the base of the gable end from one end of the roof sheathing across to the other side of that triangle.
Hopefully this provides a reasonable explanation.
