How much wind could a windchuck chuck

How much wind has your hub held up in? I've been out in 20mph winds last year out on Pike Bay with a big old Clam six pack and it was a little scary lol. Since I bought the Eskimo 6120i  I haven't really been out in high winds other than on Winnie last March and it seemed to hold up a lot better in the wind than the six pack. 

 

I bought the anchor drill adapter thingy and that is the best money I've ever spent on ice equipment lol. Bam, bam bam they go in like crazy and you are set up. A couple anchor lines on the outside windy side and a few on the inside and I think it would hold up to quite a bit. Any experience?

I have been in 27mph + wind with my Clam Jason Mitchell 5000  My anchors bent on a couple of them that time and another time I had the bracket to the strap break in 25mph winds... I like the Jason Mitchell because the side straps are nylon and not the small little ropes I have seen others have.

I ordered some of these for this year because the clam anchors are junk and so were the replacement ones I found at cabelas I forget what brand

 

I do say the eskimo oem anchors seem beefier
