so how did everyone make out? I pulled the fishing boat Friday and moved her 15 miles inland. I have not heard yet if there was any damage but I'm banking on "no news is good news". Funny thing is most of the damage was inland where tornados touched down in several locations across southern NJ, and the barrier islands just had the hurricane winds. The hobie was safe and sound in my shop in Lancaster PA so she didn't even get wet.

Here in VT we got 30 G60 but I was sheltered by some nice (soft) cedars. Everything (H18, H17, P19) was tied down with ground anchors but masts and tramps left on. All is well.

Just tell her to only go forward. Park in places you can drive thru.

Good to hear.

We have eleven cats on the beach. We removed the masts, dragged them over the dune and tied them down. No damage. We lost a lot of beach but no boats.
