Reply to: What to do with boat during hurricane?

Message body

[quote=coastrat]quick story,  when hurricane frederick hit the ms gulf coast in 1979, my family took refuge in a bank in downtown pascagoula, ms..  i watched a 21' san juan sailboat fly in the wind while being tied down to the cast iron columns of the banks drive through windows.  the wind blew so hard that the boat flew off of the ground like a kite...me and my brothers watched it in amazement...the trailor was attached to the boat...flying 2' off of the ground like a ribbon in the wind...then a huge cast iron light fixture broke loose on the front poarch...wow..kids love this stuff...stereo tornados...a river on the front poarch...sounded like a movie turned up too loud...hurricanes are intense!!!  the real damage happens after the eye passes over,  the trees have been pumped in one direction so long that when the wind shifts, the trees snap and fall soooo much!!!  most of my damage happened n the first 10 minutes after the eye passed...trees were falling like bowling pins.  the coolest thing was a river of water and shredded leaves that snaked its way across my poarch window, like a huge python...i fear and respect hurricanes...signed, a witness to the real deal...[/quote]
