Hi all, greetings from rainy Quebec City.
Last week, we spent our first night out in the rooftop tent, at Wycocomaugh province park in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and the weather beacon was putting out a gale warning. The tent stayed put and everyone stayed warm. My wife was a bit freaked at the prospect of being in the tent in the gale, but once everyone got settled in the family calmed down. Five in this tent is a tight fit, but it worked. Here's a picture I took as people were settling in. A by-product of the gale was the crystal clear skies. Look close and you can see the stars.

I'm sure it was windy but you guys look like you were in the trees a bit and probably protected somewhat. I doubt very much that tent could handle 90 mph gusts with no protection..but I could be wrong.
