With climate change, wooden structures are also more susceptible to destruction in hurricanes.
In the event of an earthquake, they are also more prone to collapsing.
When there is a tsunami, as in Japan, the ones left standing are mostly concrete/brick buildings.

Enough said.
Vin.. Google "timber" construction. Or try these guys: https://structurecraft.com/materials. We'll be touring their local facility
