There are several reasons large boats are not taken out of the water before a storm.
1. There are a limited number of lifts capable of lifting a large boat
2. boat yards have a limited amount of space to store boats. some of those will only accepts boats that the yard will be working on.
3. With an approaching storm, many yards will not accept boats for storage due to the possibility that the stored boats will be damaged and require removal or destruction.
4. Putting a boat on land will not protect it from storm surge.
