Hurricane Season 2020. How is Everyone?

The Gulf Coast, particularly Louisiana, has been hit with a record number of tropical storms this year. If you have a boat in affected areas, how are you doing? I haven't heard much news of damage to boats. I'm sure there must be some, but I'm hoping the lack of news means that few people have suffered damage.
This is my first year owning a sailboat and I was really sweating it when Hurricane Laura was predicted to possibly cause three foot tidal surges in Annapolis, only ten days after I became the new owner. It didn't happen, and my boat was ok. But the whole time I was thinking, "Well, welcome to boat ownership on the Atlantic".
I hope everyone else is fairing as well.

I'd like to hear reports of how people and boats are doing.

Re: Hurricane Season 2020. How is Everyone?

It snowed here today, courtesy of Hurricane Zeta coming through and pulling down some cold Canadian air to mix with all that moisture. Didn't stick, but lets us know we'd better get the cover on! We hauled last week for the winter.
