I am thinking they didnt think it was going to be that bad in this part of Ohio, you guys were much closer..

I am also thinking that many owners didnt have trailers and such to remove them by themselves, but like I said, I bet they didnt think this would happen this bad and these marinas have been fine through many other storms in the past, probably no second thought..

Sucked to see in person, I could not imagine beaing on the east coast

Its no wonder our rates contiue to rise and coverage is becoming thinner with more loop holes.

Probably because here in Cleveland that has never happened before, my only thought... on it..

Whiskey Island is where I keep my boat. Boat and Ski are safe in storage.

The marina looks like a war zone. My Jet Dock made it. Had to go there Monday after the storm and retie it, only had one line attached because the 6 other ones broke loose. If you notice in one of my pics, the blue crappy break wall broke away too.

I heard 6 boats already sank.

NEVER thought I would see this happen in Ohio.

Best wishes to all...

Vermilion was actually ok just had water flood over the bulkhead.I had seen pictures from Rocky river and that seemed bad also they had floating docks and boats break loose. So tragic to see glad everyone is ok boats are replaceable.
