Those rigs are massive. What’s the hurricane plan? Give the anchor lines some slack and let her ride?

Actually a production platform. More than just a drilling rig, but it has one of those two.

They are designed to shutdown, evacuate all personal, and ride out a hurricane. Sometimes the get damaged but usually start back up afterward without too much trouble.
