Double brick walled home do not hold up well to earthquakes, tornadoes, or hurricanes, and anything built in the US is probably going to have to be prepared for one of the above.

How come a double brick home would be worse for tornadoes and hurricanes? At a pinch i would say the first weaknesses would be windows and roof, not the walls.
