If wind can actually move a tree or a car as you describe, it sounds like an EF4 or EF5 tornado. These events account for less than 1% of all tornadoes and have wind speeds of AT LEAST 166 m.p.h. In such cases, the best thing to do is to protect yourself. Because no common residential wall system is designed for such events, the big news about brick veneer is that it provides superior protection in high winds - a claim that fiber cement and vinyl siding cannot make.

in a tornado i suppose a tree or an auto or something bigger than a 15 pound projectile is going to hit the home so brick really wont make any difference.
Why does the "misle" used in this video look nothing like the "misle" used in the brick video?? Clearly not a 2X4.
