Low tides in the eastern LIS are running 2-3 feet below normal.

Yep...just got back from City Island. More damage to moored boats, but
our club had no problems. A woman on my dock couldn't get her Catalina
320 off because of the low tide and I had the impression that my keel
was flirting with the bottom, though I was able to move the boat.
With wnds averaging close to 30 MPH and gusting to 44, I'll probably
hold off on the sailing for now. Hopefully it come down into high teens
and low twenties later on.
Besided dragged and popped moorings, the #1 damage type was to furled
headsails that weren't properly secured. Aboard heart of gold we
usually furl until there are several wraps of sheet, then use a
sail-tie over that. Jib sheets are pulled moderately tight around
winches, then cleated off.
