Will A brick house survive beside a vinyl sided House destroyed in a tornado?

It depends on the intensity of the tornado and the specific construction of each house. Both houses would likely survive an EF2 or weaker tornado, though may lose their roofs.

A low to moderate EF3 may destroy the vinyl sided house and leave the brick one standing, but both would be destroyed or irreparably damaged by a high EF3.

Neither would survive the full force of an EF4 or EF5 tornado.

There have been strange cases, as well. as some tornadoes have their strongest winds confined to small suction vortices. This can sometimes lead to one structure being leveled while the one next to it is left intact, regardless of construction. In a few cases sturdy brick buildings have been demolished while nearby wooden shacks have escaped with minimal damage.
