Where is it? Trailerable? Don't put water in the hulls.

It's in my driveway now. You said not to put water in the hulls. Why? What should I do with it today? All rigging is off and the tramp will be off today

A little late but for the next storm, I tied my boat and trailer to a big tree, I figured at least it would not blow away, I also got some earth anchors at a mobile home store and strapped it down, did the same with my camper.
I didn't get any boat damage just lost lots of branches. Hope you also lucked out.

I noticed that there are only about 7 boats on the beach. Did everyone remove their boats or were they blown off the beach into the ocean?

Scott,
i thought I replied to the water in the hulls question, I guess I didn't post correctly.
The hulls are not designed to have any (minimum) outward pressure at all, you run the risk of putting too much stress on a seam, same goes for pressurizing the hulls to find leaks.... Be very, very careful.
