use some form of tent tie down screw in the ground at three points around the bucket and then tie a rope back to the bucket or to the top of what ever the concrete bucket is holding

Get 4 stakes and some rope.

add more concrete until it stops falling over

Aren’t buckets of concrete used to hold other things down?

It would seem your center of gravity is too high and/or whatever thingy you are anchoring with the bucket is unstable. So get a bigger bucket and/or unfrick your thingy.
If you insist on anchoring, put 3 large eyelets in the side of the bucket as your cement sets. Then tie off on that for your stakes.

If the wind is toppling a bucket of concrete over, i'd say you should go hide in the bathroom and hope you still have a house after the tornado rips through.

Thanks. Sounds like the three anchors in ground with rope might work. Think the weight from what I have is to y’all and wide for the bucket of cement.

Your problem is ( I’m just guessing here) whatever you have in the bucket of concrete is making it top heavy

You didn’t happen to engineer a certain building in downtown New Orleans, did you?

Of all the things Scruffy never thought someone would need help anchoring to the ground, a bucket filled with cement happened to be one of them.
Next you’ll be asking how to keep a rectangular brick from rolling over or how to keep a lake from getting wet.

This is the "bucket" you used, isn't it.

Can you pop little holes in the structure that’s anchored to the concrete bucket? That way the wind can blow through it?

You didn't do an overturning calculation?
You need to either brace, connect to wood pallet/pad for mobility, connect to paving with mechanical anchor, connect to soil with temp building anchors, or use a bigger bucket.
