...when the eye of a tornado passes over a house it creates a vacuum. The pressure of the air inside the house and the vacuum outside is what causes slab parties.

Kind of reminds me of the Wilson House in Wichita Falls, Texas. Wilson was an oil man who, knowing that Wichita Falls is subject to more than its fair share of big ass tornadoes, built his mansion with "bones" of steel I-beams sunk deep into the ground. That thing is a fortress. The Finger of God (F5) hit Wichita Falls in 1979 and gave us an endless number of locations to hold "slab parties," afterwards, but its path did not take it over the Wilson House. If any structure could possibly hold up under an F5, it would be the one.
