The carpet is a poor attempt to prevent flying debris from breaking the windows, but a possible deterrent none the less. this isn’t actually too bad, if the place floods the car being tied to the tree will prevent it from being swept away and slamming into anything else (the house) and even though it would be flooded the car can still be salvaged for parts.

Anchoring a car to a tree isn't a horrible idea, but take a closer look... That's not a rope, that's a GARDEN HOSE. Also, if there were any force strong enough to pull the car off the ground, there would be more force than the hose could hold, but if it did hold, there would be a large amount of damage caused by the rope because it is TIED AROUND THE ROOF and not to the frame. Also, if the rope holds, there is no guarantee that the car won't flip over or be damaged in any other way. Another fail? Hurricanes have also been known to KNOCK OVER TREES. I know you're wondering, what is the smart way to anchor down a car? I would recommend a large concrete slab, four anchor points, and short pieces of chain to each corner of the car's frame. There would be no trees, no flipping of the car, no possibility of the car ending up on it's roof. You would only have to worry about hail and debris... Stop, think, then post.
