We were in Florida for one winter season in 2008.
Watched park models being installed in one of the parks where we spent many weeks.
An interesting process watching them use a large drill to quite literally screw large metal auger bits into the ground (sand really) that were about 4 feet in length.
They then used metal straps to attach these to the frame of the trailer.
I looked at this and scratched my head. I finally decided that I had to ask, "Riddle me this: What will doing this accomplish?".
They told me that the local code required that all manufactured homes in Florida be securely attached to the ground. "This way", he said, "when you return to your trailer after the hurricane the frame will be sitting here waiting for you because the rest of the trailer will be gone.".
"Ah, ha!", says I. Makes sense to me. :-)

Jim
