[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 287820, member: 6937"] Since I always stand watch during hurricanes, whenever it's a bad one, I keep a boat in the yard, on a trailer, with survival gear on board, and then I tie a rope from the boat to a piling on the house. Just in case it starts getting REALLY bad, I can use the rope as a lifeline to make my way to the boat, and then get aboard the boat, and stay that until the flooding has passed. Haven't yet had to resort to this measure, and hope I never have to. The last time was back in Hurricane Floyd, it had 155 MPH winds when it was just 24 hours from the SC coast, and it was predicted to make landfall here. Then, at the last minute, it turned toward Wilmington, and the wind died down to about 115 (which would be the wind load limit for the house I'm in) But for the several hours leading up to that, I was wondering if I was going to have to ride out a cat 4 or 5 storm in a 18 foot c.c. Sea Hunt. [/QUOTE]
