A member from a boating forum I visit stayed on his 53' Hatteras in a Miami

That wouldn't happen to that boat if it had been in Naples, no matter
how much wind and storm surge. Those oh-so-special people there just
don't let God do those things, do they, NOYB?

Our homes get damage. Our pool cages blow down. Our trees get uprooted.
And our boats get totalled. But we don't whine about long lines waiting for
water, fuel, and ice only 24-48 hours after a hurricane...because we prepare
properly.
