Any steel straps diagonally? If nothing is there, I'd at least install these straps; lots of 'em. Either that, or sheath it w/ plywood, 15 lb felt, and put some good siding on. This will generate problems w/ windows and doors, perhaps, but maybe not too bad? At least steel straps, IMO. One good 100 mph wind and you could be in for some serious tweaking.
