We don't have "frequent tornados," we just happen to have a section of the country named Tornado Alley, because it's a flat, open section of the country that is somewhat more prone to tornados because of its topography.
Building our houses out of wood has nothing to do with tornados, we have insurance policies for that. 90% of Americans never even witness a tornado in their lifetime. We build our houses out of wood, because wood is an abundant, renewable resource, and just happens to be a great insulator. Also, the rate that houses are being built now doesn't really allow for too many wooden houses. They're all plastics and polymers with concrete supports.
