I saw an standard manual awning that was extended and anchored down into the ground literally ripped off the coach by a dust devil. Awning arms were broken but still anchored and awning was left in pieces. There is no way to fix or anchor any awning to withstand the wind that day. I retract my awning when away from coach and when it's windy.
Very smart habit.
If winds above about 30-35MPH are forecast/likely, I also retract my awning, manual or electric. But it's now nice to not need to pull the "Arizona Patio" apart for every little gusty breeze that pops up.
