I don't understand why the people don't just head out in boats into the sea

If I understand correctly last night, the local police were confiscating boats last night for potential rescue operations.

Boats aren't big enough to survive the storm..BUT they do anchor them away from the boat slips so they don't get battered too much.

If you have ever ridden out a hurricane at sea like I have, you wouldn't ask.
I rode out hurricane David (cat 1) off Charleston in '79. NOT fun. Spoiled me for roller coasters.
