That whole area is hurricane targeted => You cannot design for "average" conditions but must design against hurricane force winds, or as required by the local code. IE, design so the whole thing blows away every time, so you don't have to cleanup the trash when re-building.

Assumed people knew what? That people can read your mind and know that you didn't mean "average" but something else that is very specific? You have to give more information to get better responses.

Read ASCE 7-10 26.5.3 as well. If you have no building code or other information that specifically gives you hazard maps per ASCE-7 standard, you may have to find good climate data (as IRstuff has sort of pointed out) decide what risk category your structures is, and scale the climate wind data to the the appropriate level of reliability for your given risk and exposure category. Make sure you don't ignore if you location is in a hurricane prone region - again refer back to ASCE 7 26.5.3.
