Often, the best anchorages for hurricanes and other severe weather are not marinas, but isolated little creeks or rivers, where the boat can be nestled in among mangrove trees or other large, securely-rooted, foliage to break the force of the storm.

The real problem in marinas is that if one boat loses its position, it can endanger every other boat, regardless of how securely they are attached. The same thing can also happen with marina docks, where all the boats are secured to the docks, but get damaged when the docks work loose.
