No sheathing. If they're not going to sheath the walls as they build up, the need to have it braced to hell. Looks like the had a few braces but obviously not nearly enough. It wouldn't take much wind to knock that thing over.
When my company built their previous location, it blew down twice in the course of construction. Mostly bad timing and pretty severe wind, but I can tell you all of us got nervous anytime a big storm was coming through lol. Our owner had them put hurricane straps on the last time though, so probably not as much to worry about from an ordinary storm.
