Default Hurricane advice?

My boat is 40', fixed keel, and is currently in New Orleans Municipal
Marina on Lake Pontrachain (Sand/mud/silt bottom).

With the upcoming hurricane season, and knowing that every boat in there
in '05 was destroyed (but not one in the Orleans Marina immediately
behind (inshore) of it), my mind has been contemplating methods and
options on what to do if I get (say) a weeks' notice of an imminent Cat
3+ hurricane.

My idea is to sail her out to mid lake and single-anchor with max rode
(so she can swing), after taking off all loose bits.

Or hiding her beneath the high bridge of I-10?

Opinions please!
