The stand I had actually has a knob that can hold the umbrella and its shaft tight, but I guess it wasn’t tight enough for that wind.

Those bases are only designed to hold in light wind. If a storm is coming, best to remove umbrella from base and store it. Even closed in the stand, wind can push and blow up into the umbrella frameā€¦. You would need the canopy very securely strapped down to avoid this.

I had an umbrella almost driven through my kitchen window by wind. After that, I definitely took it down for storms.
