Generally this can be solved with hurricane ties (to prevent the structure from completely flying) and a community tornado shelter in affected regions. It won’t eliminate damage but will reduce it as much as can be.
I know they do that in trailer parks, but you still have to make it to the shelter. And there are a lot of people who would prefer to gamble than do that. Trailers at least have heft to them, and multiple walls to catch flying debris. You can duck into a bathroom for instance if things get real bad real quick.
Edit: but I clearly haven’t thought this out as the people would otherwise be homeless and have 0 shelter
Are these houses good shelters for tornados?
They don’t look like they would be. That alone kills the tiny house for a huge chunk of the US :/.

It’s in Canada.
If you build one big shelter for the neighbourhood its probably way more cost effective than per house.
You can have community tornado shelters.
