Err, umm,  perhaps first do a search for tornado insurance claims?

In 2018, insurance claims related to tornado and thunderstorm damage
cost $14.1 billion. Tornado damage can be incredibly costly to fix,
and a severe tornado can easily destroy a home in minutes.

It looks like much of the tornado damage would be covered by a normal
home insurance policy. But the small print may mean that additional
policies could be required, depending on claim limits and exactly what
is covered.
(In the UK, tornado damage means a few roof tiles blown off, or a
garden trampoline blown down the street)  :)
