You gotta be kidding... You'd risk life & limb just to prove the durability of a tent? Priorities in order?

You aint see nothing like a hurricane or even the remnants of one, Creek. You better have your will and the rest in order because this is a death wish. Had the remnants of Opal go over me a few years back. Although it was only a Tropical Depresion at the time it was 5 - 6 hours of 60mph winds steady. Not gusts of 60 but steady @ 60 with gusts higher than that. Trees bending great angles, a lot falling, limbs flying, pine cones shattering against the house, sh.. err.. stuff flying everywhere (!!!) and no place really safe. It's nothing like you see on TV.

If you just want to test the tent, you'd be better off setting it up & tying it to the top of you car and driving down the interstate.

Hope you don't expect anyone to be sorry for you if you get injured or killed doing this. Darwinian theory is still alive & strong.
