Unless you are a sports fan who needs access to network affiliates in different markets - to access blacked out games, I would have to agree with J.C. that a rotator would not be needed. In fact, given the high winds, I would not recommend any of the consumer grade rotators. A more reliable solution would be a secondary fixed aim antenna aimed SW (235° Mag.). That's if you decide you need to see WKBN, WFMJ and WYTV.
If you are still interested in a rotator, consider a Hy-Gain AR-40. At $350 retail it's not cheap but it has the strength to survive in the conditions you are describing.
For far less money, you could install a dual antenna system using A/B switching to select the desired antenna.
The bottom line is that spending money on getting an antenna up high will pay the most in terms of reliable signal reception.
