It would not last here in the High Mojave Desert, on friday we had 65mph
winds and they are coming bact for tonight. That thing would last about 10
secs out here.

Wow, what do you guys do for greenhouses out where you are?

We get "hurricane" force winds here in southcental Alaska all the
time, but our greenhouses survive. We build with the wind in mind.
Peg 'em down good and build them in the lee of timber, alders, a
tall building, a hillside, whatever.

We built our house with a prow-point, like the bow on a ship. It's
pointed right at the glacier winds we get. This timber-framed house
shudders once in awhile, but it won't blow down. We get 100 mph wind
at least once every winter here. And earthquakes. (We're about 50 miles
from the epicenter of the largest EQ ever in N. America. The 1964
Alaska quake. A 9.4 -- my DH was a little boy -- he said the cows
and horses all fell down from the ground waves.)
