Them damn tornadoes are so nasty and destructive. They ought to make them illegal so people don't keep getting their houses tore all up and stuff.
And speaking of Boulder, CO :) there's a trick of the mountainous topology and the jet stream such that terrific windstorms come along every once in a while. I mean really destructive. I mean like new construction gets all tore up.*
So the City Council passed an ordinance against the wind blowing over 35 mph.
Ayup, they did.

* When Table Mesa opened up for development, a bad windstorm came along, and builders quickly learned not to build houses with the garages facing west without special techniques. Seems like that's a vulnerability to westerly winds of over 80-90 mph. Gets in there and houses ain't meant to take internal pressures.
