ok so. This isn’t going to stop a tree, or a large rock from flying through the side of you wall, but if you home isn’t mounted to the foundation (common in old homes) or very well mounted, or just not very wind load capable, this could actually be beneficial.
You could still experience “wall buckling” but since the roof is relatively secured, you’re acting from a separate point of leverage. Which is essentially going to be in the middle of the wall, rather than at the top of the wall.
This is all assuming that these anchor points are as strong or stronger than the straps and mounting hardware. And the fact that your home doesn’t disintegrate between the staps.
