My experience is based on the surges produced in the Bay of Fundy and
Kennebassis river.
Using one night spent watching Gloria gusting at 60 knots with about a 10
feet surge my boat got hit by the boat in front. The owner did not believed
it. His boat was still attached to the mooring block. That night about
10 - 15% of the mooring blocks were moved by the surge.

My question was not about staying on your boat during a hurricane,
after all, natural selection is wonderful thing. However, after tying
up my boat I simply check my insurance policy and go home.
Nor was my question about such a large storm surge that nothing can
survive. I am simply curious about a reasonable surge, say 10'.
