Hurricane Idalia storm surge sinks boats in Sarasota marina

[@towlifechannel3679]

You should double line everything with plenty of slack your boat will be fine The marinas should do all the hurricane prep and not the owners

[@tacticaladvantage4763]

Insurance fraud. I live in saint pete and there are 14 foot skiffs still afloat in our marina. Explain to me how 30 mph gusts to Sarasota sunk that thing

[@rhondamohlman]

Couldn't agree more

[@lydiaajohnson]

Especially when most of the boats were fine.

[@tcjorge2007]

Exactly

Noce ve tan fuerte. Gracias al Señor 🕊🙏❤

[@bluecube7247]

Seems large boat owners simply find it easier to just let their boat sink.... rather than securing it safely.

[@nowandthennn]

Yeah , they get to collect insurance and get a new boat and let the city deal with the cleanup.

Isn't a storm classified as an "act of God"? Just sayin'

Devastating…so very sorry you’re dealing with this. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@bryanpinto5819]

Yep, poor rich people with boats that are insured. Yep devastating

[@judypasqualone3819]

@@bryanpinto5819 I’m sure they’re not all rich and besides I still wouldn’t want to deal with this and probably having to build a new home like Ian did to Ft Myers!!!

[@grantofat6438]

But they like the weather in Florida. That is why they live there.

[@lydiaajohnson]

Some of those boats seem fine. Wonder how well tied off the sinking boats were.

[@aquious953]

Better to anchor out at 10:1 scope.

[@Aspen5.7]

Too bad they didn't have 4 days notice...

[@grantofat6438]

Good comment.

A natural storm is a perfect storm for crime

[@SRQsupercars]

i have the same exacr boat a Prestige 500, except mine survived the storm

[@bryanpinto5819]

Couldn't make the payments. Oops. The hurricane.

[@DoreenBellDotan]

Rich people learning an essential lesson: Those with money are as much subjects of the laws of nature as poor people.

[@tac5780]

Bros turning a hurricane into a average ‘rich people bad’ statement 🙄

[@MisterJang0]

Those boats were more than likely well insured. Those rich people are gonna get a nice payday from all this and just buy newer boats.

I pray God Xenu and the Aliens were able to save and protect their Church of Scientology in Clearwater, Florida from the evils of mother nature.

[@sethr.c1065]

In Jacksonville it was a nice breezy day! In Sarasota, careless millionaires lost their boats, and a bunch of east coast imports lost value on their beach houses. Overall, this was a good storm for Florida.

Trashed boats, Salty selzer⤵🚽 anyone😂
