Depends on how they built. In fact the armored concrete is much more reliable than wood if we are talking about earth quickies. Telling you this as a professional engineer. A concrete can stand a very serious pressure, but not a stretching. The armored one can stand both just easily.
Please look at the video above. We had a serious storm in Moscow this year. No buildings made of reinforced concrete were damaged.
