If you are in Florida and not in one of the inland "Baja Georgia" counties you will need straps that are poured in the tie beam and wrap over the top of the truss. If you are up north where they assume all the load is down you can probably get away with toenailing them.

In that respect in Utah I had to use hurtricane (pronounced hur`-i-cun in Utah)straps. And we shamelessly get very few winds over 75mph & when we do it is seldom raining.
