Now I wonder; if the wind blow your tower over AND the tower is securely
fastened to your house, what about the house?
I have seen these installations where rather substantial towers are
supported by not-too-big houses.
I would prefer if the bracket gives in before the house. ... or how strong
is a house?

I should add that yes the house bracket pulled out.

What happened to the house bracket?

microburst wind took it all down, which actually upturned the concrete base
along
with it.
