As I recall wind pressure "on a flat surface" at 70 mph is 20.6 lbs/sq ft., 
so if the  tower is rated for
18 sq ft at 70 mph, would it be too much of a stretch to say to the zoning 
board that since wind pressure at 90 mph is 34 lbs/sq ft, by simple math, 
the tower should be good for 10.9 sq ft at 90 mph ?
