BoatUS has a whole section on hurricane preparation from the safest place to be to what kind of lines-not nylon- to use to what chafing gear is best etc Very helpful

All:

Not to unduly excite everyone, but in the event of a direct hit (doubtful the case here) where do you feel your boat would be safer:  in a slip, on a mooring, or out of the water?
I lean towards on a mooring because there's less 'things' to fly about and hit the boat.  On land she'd be on jackstands; more likely lying next to them after the storm passed.
