Holding everything together may not be the best idea. 1974 we had a 100 mph straight wind hit 2 3 sided barns made of all steel. The super structure pulled the 2x2x3 concrete footings out of the ground.
If the back wall blew out easily/easiest the building may have stayed in place. As it was it caught the wind like a parachute then tumbled on the ground scattering tin for a 1/4 mile. The wind lasted about 30-60 seconds.
