Should I get the hurricane straps for my Park Model trailer?

We're looking at some options for our park model trailer. Being zoned as a camping and tenting grounds we're restricted to the canadian CSA park models as the best we can get, 538 sq feet. We plan to build a house there in a few years but to get started we're just getting a park model for ourselves so we can be there right away and later use it as a rental.

Now my question is, do I get the hurricane straps? Has anyone had any experience with this? Manitoba doesn't get hurricanes, but we do get the occasional tornado. Now if the park model is hit, it's toast straps or not, but if a tornado is nearby straps would help. Plus there is often high winds by the lake, wondering if they would rock the trailer at all and if straps would help that?

thoughts? Anyone with any experience on this topic?

and yes I'm planning on becoming trailer trash......
