Used to be that framing had to be toe nailed...
Now I see nails used from top and bottom sil to studs. Not as strong.
The toe nailing really locks it in from both sides.
straight nailing will not withstand storm forces as much.
But then again, most roofs will easily lift before the framing gives.
Typically hurricane straps add tremendous strength if you are building
for wind storm resistance.
If you google "strength of wood screws" you will find

Um, remove the ... and give us the actual URL, please. Parsing error!
Silly wabbit.
