Hurricane Force Wind Gusts During Heavy Squall

The Independence Day holiday arrived with major drama. While we we're expecting thunderstorms, nothing prepared us for what was about to come. The squall that hit us approached from the north and was easily tracked as it approached our marina. The boat was healing 20 degrees at the dock but fortunately I recently changed our bow and stern lines, so they held. That was my only concern because had they let go we would have sustained serious damage or worse. I would have been far happier and more comfortable had we been out at sea. We're hoping this squall is the worst we experience all season.
