Maybe if I had a anemometer that triggered a pully to winch the flag down into a tube at the base when the winds exceeded some threshold.

Anyway, good on ya for doing it if you can.

We live up against the foothills and I will save the stories of horrible wind gusts (think large stainless six burner BBQ grill w/cabinet thrown halfway across the lawn at 3:00am) but I'm lucky that the way the garage extends it shelters the front porch from the brunt of the winds for the most part. It still blows but not as bad as if I mounted it out on the face of the garage or something.
