Got a kick out of this:

"The first surge dragged us 1/3 of a mile, then the second surge turned us
all the way around and dragged us back 1/4 mile. While in the first surge we
were listing 35-45 degrees from side to side. Chairs were turned over, the
coffee table slid all around and I just clenched on to the couch and rode it
back and forth. The entire galley ended up on the floor. No camera action at
that time -- I could not reach it nor did I care!"

That's with three anchors .... a 1000 lb, and two 500 lb plus cable and
chain.

The biggest danger might have been getting hit by a house, or the
Hooters that broke loose. Bet a lot of stuff was bouncing off the
hull.
Looks like they really knew what they were doing, but maybe there were
times when they questioned that.
Did you see the video tour of the ship?

Very nice, and I think these guys really wanted her kept safe.
Nice job and kudos to them.
