A true hurricane on the Massachusetts coast gave a severe test to our Sierra Design Stretch Dome. Not only did we reinforce the corners with the provided aluminum stiffeners but we did an interior guy line structure like a spider web. 85+ and it flapped like a card in a bike wheel going 40 and rocked like a drunken boat , but did not tear or break. We watched 40 footers come in the mouth of the Merrimack in the morning as it wound down. It's also seen 18" of snow piled on it in Vt. and withstood many other heavy winds in the Adirondacks and Whites. Surprisingly, our tight quartered BA Fly Creek 2 has seen some heavy winds and tremendous downpours. An afternoon at 11 k in the Sierra with severe thunderstorms was particularly memorable. As was a day up the West Prong of the Little River in the Smokies. We got back to our car just in time, as they shut down the road into the trail head due to imminent flooding. It rained hard the other night in Bright Angel Campground down in the Grand Canyon along with some gusty howling, but once again stayed bone dry. We' re starting to trust that tent. Time to look for another, it's bound to fail miserably soon...... We seem to attract bad weather, but it doesn't deter us...yet.
