In Austin we haven't got basements because we're on granite. (You need drilling and explosives to install a swimming pool, let alone a basement.)

On the bright side, it means that you can't have basement leaks because, hey, no basement. On the other hand, it means less room in your house, unless you build a house with a bigger footprint (though in Austin you can do that; there's plenty of real estate).

I imagine that not having a basement in a tornado-prone state would be a real gamble.

Actually we have hills to our west so storms big enough to produce tornadoes are shunted north of us, where they hit a town along I-35 called Jerrold. (Which has been leveled by tornadoes something like three times, yet they keep rebuilding it...)
