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.
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?
Probably pretty quick when it gets hit by a hurricane.
Move the boat north before hurricane season starts. Sounds like a major pain, now that I think about it.

Then why have we invented houseboats? It’s clearly the best of both worlds
Oh gods no. I’m saying get the fuck out of the southeast US while you still can!
