Today around 4:50 we get alerts that there is a tornado in the area. The it came over the air that the Savannah Yacht Club got hit. I keep both on my boat there in trailers in the boneyard. I was going down there today to watch the last day of our Blue Water Tournament and weight in around 6. Thank G-D the storm did not get to the bone yard but the hoist got blown apart. We have 3 6 ton winches on the I beam. The beams are about 30 feet long. They got blown off the colunums and onto the dockmaster's house. A 23 center console got lifted out of the water and upside down on the floating dock. At this time, there must have been some bigger offshore boats coming in to weigh the catches. From anglers on the dock, they said that had mabe 15 to 20 seconds to make a decision. Another was parting on a sandbar and got stuck out there. I have been in 50+ mile wind and that is about the last place you want to be, Stores with in 3 miles had roffs removed from them. The boat hoist will be down in my guess 3 weeks. Last year it was the hurricane.
