Sounds like he needs a hobby, or a wife with a honey do list. I would never have enough time for that lmao! There's quirky people everywhere I guess!
That sounds like hurricane force winds. Stay safe, warm and indoors. 
That sound pretty good, but I'd put about 1/3 of the posts' length in the ground, depending on how high you want it. And closer together than usual. And you may even want to brace it every few posts given your windy climate. And be sure not to leave any knot holes in the slats, or that neighbor will probably be peeking through it.
I would build my fence quite stout with 6x6 treated posts at least 2 ft deep and set on gravel. Run a piece of 1/2" rebar sticking out of the wood a few inches on both sides, below grade and then pour concrete around the foot and the rebar. Then make the slats staggered or at least with a gap to allow the wind to pass through them.
Me thinks that second sentence sounds revealing. I'm envisioning an efficient little hobby wood processing area visible to neighbors and passerby's. What you look upon proudly, they look upon with disdain, no doubt shielding their children's eyes as they walk by.
I have a friend who is on about 1.5 acres of land so will be storing wood there and taking it as I need it. I use an electric chainsaw and electric 5 ton splitter. Only spruce, balsam fir and some birch. No big stuff/other hardwoods.
