Is there something about its history that made people think that tornadoes weren't a problem or something?
I believe it may have more to do with the composition of the soil than anything else. Here in the Dallas area, there's only a handful of homes with basements because of the expansion/contraction of the clay. Not entirely sure if that's the issue in Joplin though.
