North Atlantic storms can be fierce any time of year but are more common after mid sept. There are times I thought the Akto would blow away but it held up OK. Good luck with your tarp tent.
Yes it should be interesting. I'm using a thicker tent pole than the standard as I obviously can't use a treking pole and have attached some extra guy ropes. It's done well in a couple of storms in New England and this test also give me some hope that it will be sufficient
