No. From the sounds of it, I would say your guy anchors are really sub-par
for that application. You didn't mention how much concrete you used, but I
bet it wasn't a lot.

Do something right away. I suggest new anchors built for concrete (use the
Rohn ones) and follow the Rohn guylines for the amount of concrete in each
anchor. I don't have my book handy, but I would say that will be between 1
and 2 yards of concrete per anchor.
Don't wait. Start fixing the problem now! I think you may have a dangerous
situation should you have excessive rain, wind, or ice occur before you fix it.
Good luck.
