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?

Up North on Long Island. Boat Insurance companies will pay for your boat to be short hauled out of the water if a Named Storm or Hurricane is coming.

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.
