   Does your structure have large/wide gables?  That could     
   probably act as a catchall for the wind and send your cottage     
   to the land of Oz.  But the nearby trees and ground-level     
   changes around you probably break/toss/twist the power of the     
   winds around a bit to lessen a direct impact?   
      
   I live in a small valley.  The winds can have a significant     
   build-up effect if they want to. Some of the strongest storm     
   winds have been in the summer with driving rains.  The     
   aforementioned 10ft wide glass door sustained quite a few of     
   those over the years.  But nothing like that has happened in     
   over 10yrs now.
