CD is right. Storm surge is often what causes the most damage to the boats, especially those on lifts. One problem with tieing a boat down to a lift is that if the storm surge is high enough, then the water will swamp the boat, and water will kill the boat.
Taking the boat off the lift is generally going to be safer, as the boat will not be exposed to the wind as much and will be able to move with the storm surge if it is tied up properly.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
