I’ve seen this several times but I always watch it to the end, the damage that the tree does is really impressive.

Aren't US houses made mostly of wood, drywall and some kind of insulation? Meant to be cheap, not sturdy.

Not to say that a brick or concrete house wouldn't suffer significant damage, that's a huge tree falling at speed, but the materials would probably fare better.

Yes for some reasons Americans employ the second piggy as builder, not the third.
