the wind is pretty intense. it's perfectly still in the morning (best time to set up camp) then ramps up until evening (when we set up camp). it was so strong at one point that it broke one of the bars in our shade structure, even though we positioned the van by it to act as a windbreak (it blows up into the valley from the southwest). we had to splint it and tie it to the roof rack...just replace those 4" default tent stakes with good 10" nail-type ones and you're okay. a typical dome tent, well staked, may slap you around a bit but won't fly away. you'll read a lot about using rebar to hold your shit down but that's a lot of hassle to go through for an extra 2" you won't need.
during windstorms we were perfectly fine zipped up in our shade structure.
