Incredibly cheap and quick to build. Wood, unlike stone, quite literally grows on trees.

Also, stone houses don't stand up to hurricanes much better than wooden ones. You're protected from wind damage to a certain extent, but framed houses generally lose their roofs first anyway, so it's not going to be of much use. And gutting flooded stone houses would be a nightmare.

Glad you're okay. Nerves were definitely frayed here. Last year is still fresh in people's minds.
