Default highwind,rohn25,stayerect???

Unless you live in an area where the wind exceeds 70 mph you should be OK I
have a 50 foot 25G tower, no guys that has a 4 ele 6 meter, 13 ele 2 mtr,
and a 15 element 432 beam on it and it has stood the test of time (15
years). It is mounted in a cubic yard of concrete with proper base with no
problems at all. Winds here seldom exceed 40 mph but ocassionally hits 70
mph and have seen gusts to 87 mph.
73

What should a rohn 25 properly guyed, 50ft tower with two meter/440
ground plane antennas be able to 'handle high wind wise'??
Watching the news/weagther, I feel some will 'bite the dust'.
Appreciate your input. cl.
