45mph wind gust on my backyard wind meter, fastest I have had in 2 years of
owning it. Lots of trees uprooted, signs down, semis blown over, crazy.

Really? Where do you live?

A 45 mph gust in two years makes me think you live in a sheltered area, or your
meter is way off. A 45 MPH wind does not usually blow over semis, ect.
