Where you going without me? (Securing the plane in the wind)

A few years ago we had winds like that here, and there was a group of five guys trying to secure a 152 that was trying to take off on them on the other end of the ramp.
 
When I was doing my primary training at BJC, the tower called the flight school office and told them their helicopter was flying. "No, the instructor is right here," they said. "No, you don't understand." The winds had managed to spin the rotors enough that it was bouncing around on the ramp. Our helicopter instructor spent some time trying to lasso the blades to stop them.
