In the aftermath, I saw a LOT of wood things down (mostly trees),
but very few metal things (like light poles, fireplugs, or street
signs) blown down. Empirical evidence supports the theory that wood
sucks.

You've still not even established the failure mode...


Oh.

Sorry.

Failure mode: Fences fell down due to wind (99.998% confidence factor).


No, that's cause, not mode...did the posts come out of the ground or did
they break?
