Thanks for the information. We did experience just as strong or stronger winds twice while working at Adventureland in Iowa last summer. I have umbrella type supports for our awning and anchored down both ends of awning with ratchet straps. Everything was ok after the 60mph+ wind. The problem here is that it is near impossible to get a stake or screw type anchor into these rock/caliche pads and our previous location was on soft dirt, no rock at all. Tried to use a screw type anchor but it eventually worked lose after a few weeks and a few days of rain.
It seem like most of our days here since first coming here the first of November have been very windy like today is right now. I don't think a canopy could be used very during the hot summer if the wind stays this strong all the time.
Actually the wind burn is about as bad as the sun burn. I was out all day one day in the shade and it felt like I had sunburn.
