Whoo!  Quite an adventure and you are folk of indomitable courage.  I'm 
really glad those who got the c-m poisoning are going to be okay.

Are the ez-up tents the ones with a kind of scissor-like folding frame at 
the top?  If so, the ones that I have seen, don't seem to hold up in really 
strong, gusty winds.  They sort of turn into metal spaghetti.  Any tent 
with flat walls is going to have problems in high winds, though it helps if 
you can point a corner into the prevailing wind.
