@Largo @Shlomo The Japanese built their literal paper homes which no doubt saved lives from earthquakes that would bring stuff down on you. But in this case we're concerned about stuff coming through walls. And in case of Americans sometimes that stuff is bullets too.
Even with the relatively mild storms I've experienced there have been cases where a tree falls and kills someone inside of their car. Imo it's just better to live in a reasonably durable house rather than something that is cut through by anything like a hot knife through butter.
