Many marinas require you to move your boat out of the marina, either to dry
storage if you are small enough or anchor out. In Port Canaveral where we
stayed for a number of years, you couldn't even stay anywhere in the port -
you had to go up-river if you could, or put to sea.
If you stay in the marina you usually have to evacuate so you tie your boat
off as well as possible with long lines so you don't sink it with the surge,
then leave with your fingers crossed.
Here is a story and pics of our experience with Hurricane Hugo
http://www.yandina.com/Hugo.htm
During Hugo, the surge was so high at the marina we vacated that the
floating docks all rose up over the tops of the pylons and the whole marina
and about 150 boats blew across the river and piled up on the opposite
island.
