What's interesting is some of the modular home construction with wood can hold up better to hurricanes and storms better than some steel structures.
In recent years I saw some systems using no nails or screws but instead an adhesive sprayed on while the walls lay flat. It actually bonds in such a way as to add great strength to the whole structure. Steel buildings are also having spray in foam applied after construction which adds a lot of insulation but can also strengthen the building by somewhere near 30%. I have seen several that have been done and the difference is quite noticeable in the right circumstances.
