Agreed, it is definitely worse than Andrew. (If that was possible).

If the line keeps moving to the West (left), the
worst home- and boat-owner scenario
also moves West!
I try to take comfort in that the hurricane "never hits where its pointed right now". However, the projected 7-foot tidal surge will cost me—
and all those without Florida windstorm insurance—much of what I possess, and the comfort of arrival at "home".
Worse yet, should the tidal surge become
higher than 7-feet.
This just in—from a Winnipesaukee neighbor:

"They're showing an interview on TV with the Marina manager in Key West... they showed a picture of boats tied in a man made canal... like a road with parked cars... they decided to tie all the boats together, ropes zig-zagged through all the boats! Think of tying all the boats at Goodhue together and then tying down to cement-set cleats... multiple ropes on each boat.... looks like a spider web over the marina..."
