Yes and no. I am guessing that the odds of a baseball sized hail and 150 mile winds at that location is very small.
Just like they dont build houses to be tornado proof, even if they are located in the main tornado areas. You go with the odds that it is a possibility , but a small one.

You can approve PV panels for use as roofs. They assess for protection against hail damage.
Same was as they approve electrical equipment for use in oil refineries so they don't cause an explosion.
Nothing is without risk.

But...Wouldn't you say the risk is higher in Tornado Alley?

The question in my mind is not whether it is wise or not, but what is the plan to recover from such a disaster. Knowing that it is a rare event does not mitigate risk or relieve the obligation to plan for it. If you have no plan for a very fast reccovery, then it is a bad decision to build.

Well, yeah. Forward planning is a good thing. Like not building a nuclear power station in an earthquake zone.
In reality, there's not much you can do to protect against an EF5 tornado, but it should be possible to protect and/or recover from an EF1.

Nebraska is in Tornado Alley.
