First possible hurricane winds with my TC in the back yard, I have already put a tarp over it and secured that very well, also put the TC on pallets to take some of the weight off the jacks. I put extra water in the tank to make it heavier, anything else I should do to prep the TC for the high winds? I don't want to put it in storage yet as I still have trips planned.
When I had my TC and lived in tornado alley I used hurricane anchors.
Any high winds will just flip a TC, if not clean take it away.
These anchors really work. They hold down huge trailers in hurricane prone areas. Kept my TC upright in a F4 tornado.
Plenty of types to choose from and many ways to attach/use them for non-permanent use.
No harm in being prepared for the worse and hoping for the best.
Here's what they look like and what they are called. You can find them at the local box stores too.

Or just put it back on your truck so if you have to evacuate you've got living arrangements! :W
Good luck. Hope the storm misses you.
