Jim;

It appears that Mike is in North Texas, where lightning is a factor (unlike 
here in Silicon Valley). Would well-grounded metal supports be a better option 
to fend off that problem?

My question isn’t just academic - I’ll be having the same problem not too long

One thing to think about is: "is it easier to sacrifice a cheap easy antenna and just put it back up if it blows over".  Not everything has to be built to out-endure the Great Pyramid or Stonehenge.

And inverted V dipole where the V is the guy wires might be an easy one.
