They had a week to move things out. Were the expensive boats just left to let insurance buy them new ones?
Where are you going to take them ? How do you know where will be safe ? You’re also trying to secure your home and prepare for evacuation. Almost all boat slips are rented along the coast so you run up or down the coast and have nowhere to dock. Now you’re anchoring out in a protected area and having to arrange a way to get back to your family and evacuate with them or stay and take care of them. The logistics of trying to save a boat are hard.
A week ago the storm wasn’t predicted to come to SW Florida. It was going further up the coast or the big bend area. Heck , the day before it was predicted to go right up Tampa Bay.
Example of not knowing where is safe. Ian didn’t hit Key West but my aunt went into Key West to her office and said there was a boat sitting on a house on the way in.
