First of all, you can evacuate a bunch of boats a LOT easier and more
quickly than cars; cars are limited to narrow strips of road, whereas
boats can go any direction they want. You also wouldn't have morons

away from the danger zone. 

Hey, as long as the taxpayers wouldn't have to pay to replace any
sunken houseboats, that's a damn good solution.
