I recently became aware that Embry Riddle temporarily evacuated Florida to escape an oncoming hurricane, taking dozens of planes with it. How does an organization like this decide that planes are at significant risk of damage and shouldn't just be tied down in a storm? I would think tying down a plane and especially hangaring it would be good against any storm that isn't hurling debris or knocking down buildings. How bad does the weather have to be to decide to move all the planes? Do airlines similarly remove all their airplanes from airports in a hurricane's path?
