The bottom rollers that mount to the poles and guide the door work but will bend or pull out of the post. What I do on my doors is take a one inch solid rod, five foot long and drive it into the ground one inch from the door. I leave one foot sticking up. This will keep the sides from swinging. Then in the middle I drive a 1 1/2 inch pipe into the ground so it is flush. Some of the doors have concrete so I drill a hole in the concrete. I then install a drop rods on the inside of the door. So the door ends up anchored on each end and the drop rods in the middle.
I will tell you your doors with the 2x4 flat are not very strong. Across the 14 foot span just the wind force can easily break that door. My doors are 2x4 on edge, twice as strong as them laid flat. The steel with the ribs ran up and down, add zero strength to the cross ways.
What I do often during high winds is place some thing against the doors to help support them. That can be a loader bucket, round bale of hay/bedding, or even a tractor tire. Anything that helps support the door. The hydraulic pressure of the wind is stronger than you think pushing against the entire door surface area.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
