Hi Ron,
I went through the same heart burn as you living in Wake Co, North Carolina.
I have seen some helacious storms come through here in the last 11 years
that I have been here. I am planning on a design that can withstand 90mph if
not 100mph. I would advise on a stronger tower or else I would keep the
tower low unless I was at home.
I would always lower the tower when not at the home QTH. If this is a pain
and as I figured it would be, then a stronger tower is called for.
That's my opinion.
