Global warming, or whatever conservatives say is happening...

Cyclical or otherwise, real or manufactured, is it time to change the international building code, to include hurricane design, and/or a changing of the wind design speeds?

I look at the early season destruction of tornadoes in the Midwest, and I can't help but think that their wind speeds were in excess of most hurricanes that make landfall.  If this is the temporary new norm, then continuing to rebuild only to have structures destroyed and lives disrupted, could be construed as borderline insanity.
