thanks BGH for your comments. the Hogback is different than the TarpTent I had used. And like I may have said, it was my bad because I believe the tent is designed to be lowered down to the ground (not mosquito mesh exposed and the peak down low) in stormy conditions. So it becomes just a matter of making sure the guys are strong and the pegs are reinforced or tied to a tree or boulder.
