Agree...Take it down....The enclosed porch on my Icarus 500 was lifting in the gales a year or so ago...I took it down and chucked it in the van before any damage was done....Sorted and packed it away next morning....

Take it down. Even your tent isn't guaranteed to hold up to 40mph gusts and it's enclosed on all sides and under, a porch is far more likely to just take off like a kite. And an unsecured porch cartwheeling round a campsite can cause a great deal of damage.
