Found out how windy is too windy!!

Last night we had winds upto 80 mph around here, glad I wasn't camping

I've been in some pretty serious winds... supposedly 40+mph gusting, not sure if my tarp ever actually experienced that though.

a needle-hole at a fabric edge is where most of my tarps failed (when they weren't punctured by falling branches)

I assume it's due to the stitching being stressed, maybe unevenly so. it's not like we're checking guylines with a tension meter when we setup, so it wouldn't be difficult to unevenly tension the tarp fabric, then all it would take is a little something extra in just the wrong place, and pop goes the fabric...
