This is all i've seen so far. All the marina's I've been to and seen pictures of, the water was way up over the dock. Nobody I know has had any damage though. My neighbor has one of his boats on his front lawn, i thought that was gonna blow over for sure!

The boats on the lower level of the rack in our marina were about 6 inches from floating. One boat sank, and a lot of wind damaged tops but no major damage to any hi-pert boats...

Neighbor had 6 trees fall on his property, on three sides of his Baja. Missed the boat completely thank goodness.

I parked my boat next to three giant trees, but no luck because we did not have much wind up here. Maybe next time

NO IDEA - the Coast Guard rescued a man and woman Saturday night in our area right off the coast of Grandview (VA Beach) in a sailboat!!!

No reason our CG personell and resources shoudl be out there risking their lives to save these idiots. They should bill them for the cost of the rescue....
