Short bus : the problem with this particular model is this "
it is only able to withstand a wind speed of 30 knots (34 mph). This means that the tent would be inoperable in even a weak tropical storm, and would have to be reserved for the sorts of extreme weather that don’t involve high winds.

Metar this morning in Iqaluit is G25 Kts But I am sure they are stronger models existing.

GuadaMB: The locals are very hospitable, flexible and very inventive when you are in any kind trouble. You have to if you live there.
Yes there is a first time in everything , but this also proves that the system works quite well.
