Everything survived! The boat did just fine in the water, but I am glad that we didn't have to go through a real hurricane. We saw sustained 40knot (46mph) winds with gusts of 55knots (63mph). I really can't imagine what it must feel like to be in 100+mph winds. As it was, the docks got a pretty good workout. If that storm was forecast to hit us directly, we would have hauled the boat.
The town was in fairly good shape as well, of course some large tree branches were down. There were also significant power outages all through the town, but everything seemed to be turned back on by 2am. Chris had gone back to the boat at that time to do a double check once everything started to calm back down.
By 8am they had all the beach roads cleared of all the sand that had washed up, and the piles were taller than our car. One of the small inlets had completely filled with sand and debris, and had to be dredged by a excavator. All in all, we were very fortunate!
