100 mi/hr winds (as a design requirement) aren't totally unreasonable,
if you're in a windy area below a canyon, for instance. 70-80 mi/hr
gusts happen every year during Santa Ana season. Yes, whether a
doubling of aerodynamic force is reasonable is a good question, and one
that would need to be explored with the regulators.
But so would seismic loading at 0.6g
