Synthetics, specifically designed for fire resistance, light weight (I'm in earthquake territory), heat retention/reflection, and long-lasting strength. Modern composites offer great possibilities.
(If I lived in hurricane territory, I'll just pick up a surplus USSR sub and sink it into a hill. Simple.)

One of the greatest ideas for a house I've ever seen was on the the road between Portland, Oregon and Boise, Idaho. It was a house built into a hillside, totally covered with sod, with a door to exit, and a chimney for a wood stove or other heat source. The roof was covered with grass, and the overall house was low enough that you could have had goats or sheep grazing on your roof. Natural insulation, warm in winter, cool in summer, and with a food supply builit in for your animals. Very cool!

Concrete, underground, with good thermal storage and air exchange by the University of Montana's techniques. Lots of windows in the outwards facing rooms, with the proviso that the patios could be swung up to seal the house for security and fire protection when I'm not home.

Chuck Norris' facial hair. No harm will ever befall whomever is inside the structure with such force surrounding you.
