I went through one decent size hurricane while I lived in Florida. It was while I was providing security for a bunch of millionaires yachts. The cool part was I got to watch a bunch of million dollar yachts float up as the water rose. They were in slips with a canopy or roof thing so it crushed all the shit on top of these yachts. I got to watch and listen to all this shit crunch and get destroyed.

I haven't bothered to confirm this since I don't own a large boat (or any boats) but I was always under the impression that you should moor the ships some distance from shore and most storms will not be strong enough to flip them at sea. You distance them from shore so they aren't blown into shit but they'll naturally rise and fall on the water.

I suppose in this case they imagined the main issue was the wind not the water. This is despite the fact that I believe water does more damage than wind usually.
