At first I thought you were being sarcastic, but after looking it up, I see exactly how it works.
Thanks!

See that LOTS OF BRACES part? You won't see much of that in frame buildings in Indiana. And chickenwire wrap? Won't see that either. Florida came up with ways to hurricane proof your home. First thing you do is bolt the roof to the frame. Then, bolt the frame to the foundation. Put in braces.

What they mean by this California standard is LOTS OF BRACES ~ HUGE NUMBERS OF THEM.

And you want these diagonals put in too. Plus, bolt everything together.

It will do well unless you are on a rock (or gravel pile) that takes off down a hill.
