Awning put up in wind

A guy pulls in with a TT and sets up across from us. He puts his awning out while the wind is blowing 25 MPH gusts and drives off. Would it be rude if I filmed it blowing off the trailer? The dashcam is pointed right at it. If he hadn't put it out in such a windstorm, I'd roll it up for him.

    So don't keep us in suspense. Tell us. Did it blow back over the camper? Did it tear it up?

    My mushroom on top of my coach is set at 30 MPH. When a windspeed of 30 MPH hits that mushroom my awning automatically retracts. I've had this set this way since 2004 with no problems.

    And some people have nothing better to do but complain. There I did my Britney Spears imitation, how do you like me now? :C
