Why didn't the owners take the time and get them out of the water or a safe harbor for the storm?
I sure some have.

Those insurance company's could be using that money to repair homes.

Thoughts?
It takes days to move large boats and if you ever had one you would know that you cannot just dock one anywhere. There are no safe harbors in a hurricane and you cannot predict their path until they are on top of you. Most of the time you tie it down and hope for the best. People do live on these boats and they are less expensive than homes here in the villages. The very rich with big yachts can eat the damage.
