Now we have a new way (at least to me) of mounting a small dish.

I suppose we will have a new category to list in the Saffir-Simpson scale.

What do you think? Will it blow away in a Cat 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

At least I don't live close to this installation.

Its pretty silly and dangerous to do that on a pitched roof but ultra
common on flat roofs. If you were to look at your average shopping
center it would have a bunch of dishes all held down by either blocks or
sand bags to avoid penetrations through the rubber or vinyl roofs.
