Wind resistance is a function of many things -- product design, base metal, installation. Many products have been tested under UL1897 or UL580 testing to withstand uplift pressured of 90 psf. That is required by Dade County. You might look into that with the products you are investigating and then make sure the product is installed properly for a high wind application as well. Todd Miller
