With hurricanes come wind and water. You would figure the bigger the dock, the more damage. This year, when Gustav hit Louisiana, the eye, as a category 1 storm (100 mph winds) came within one of our largest docks in False River. This dock held its moorings, had no damage, and merely floated off of anchor poles that were a bit short (aesthetics!)
See the dock next to it? Under water!
The sad part is that floating docks on this particular lake are new, here's a shot take from the second storey of our dock looking at all the other docks near ours, all under water and
unusable:
To read more about how our floating docks perform in extreme conditions, check out the story of one of our docks that survived Katrina in 2005.
Well, time for me to go drag some more branches out of my yard!
