We had a direct hit, Hurricane Juan, a few years ago in Halifax Nova Scotia.
There was much damage, trees, power poles and buildings were impacted. But,our mostly wooden houses stood up to the strong winds.
We get rain and freezing conditions in the winter. Not good for brick. Like Maine, we have an good supply of lumber and carpenters, and wood costs less than bricks. (There are also energy and other costs to make bricks)
