Less than 10 days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida, the state is bracing for another potentially devastating blow from a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, this one a potential Category 3 storm.
Depends on the hurricane and how close it is. Boats can be better in flood conditions but there’s the potential to capsize them. There’s going to be a bit of risk calculus going on.
Just like houses!
You can’t really be claiming that houses are no safer than boats in a hurricane.

You can when the boat is half way up the coast in the Chesapeake bay.
Exactly how fast do you think a sailboat someone lives on goes?
4-6knts in 25knts of wind.
Move the boat north before hurricane season starts. Sounds like a major pain, now that I think about it.
Probably pretty quick when it gets hit by a hurricane.
Oh gods no. I’m saying get the fuck out of the southeast US while you still can!
Then why have we invented houseboats? It’s clearly the best of both worlds
