    Wind Load on a Shipping Container
    How does the long wall and roof of a 40 foot long, high cube shipping container behave in Category 4 hurricane winds (155 MPH)? The corrugated wall is 40' long and 9.5' high. The corrugated roof is 40' long and 8' wide.

    If there is a category 3 hurricane of 130mph nothing will happen to the container if its loaded.
    But if its more than that as you said 155mph it may move off the ground.
