Man, this video has certainly made the rounds. I didn't know the boat had flipped though.

There's an excellent example of what not to do in a hurricane. Once you've done your best to prepare your "stuff", let whatever's gonna happen, happen. Somebody could have been badly hurt or killed there trying to save their stuff, as demonstrated by what happened to that pretty large boat.

I hear there's a big sale on boats at Battery Park (mouth of the Hudson at NY Harbor) this weekend.

I donno, if I owned a marina I would keep a very close eye on my docks and my tenants boats - with a work boat staged for just that kind of event. Friends owned a 42' power boat that broke away during a big storm. After it was recovered several miles downstream - their insurance totalled it. They never replaced the boat - left too bad a taste in their mouth.
