    Not sure about this one, but some storm chasing vehicles have powered augers under them to anchor the vehicle to the ground. If you've never experienced a tornado or "straight line winds", it's a heck of a lot worse than it sounds like.

    The way that one is armored up and it looks pretty well built, I'd be very surprised if it didn't have at least. 3 augers built into it.
