Wind blowing out pilot on hot water heater

Welcome to the forum Ready Set Retire. :)
On your water heater, you say you hear it clicking but it won't stay lit. Can you describe what does happen like do you hear it clicking and then it makes a big whoosh sound and then starts clicking again? Does it click, then make a pop and a big flame shoots out and goes out? Do you ever hear it click and then start roaring which is the normal operation? Since it's a 2014 it should still be under warranty so I would take it back to the dealer and let them take a look at it.
The alarm going off concerns me as it's trying to warn you about a dangerous situation. I would definitely take it back for this problem alone and have it checked out before something potentially bad happens.
