It's not like Hurricane Sandy snuck up on them. So why did they leave the gliders out in the open?
At a minimum they could have disassembled it and stored it in it's trailer in a more secure area.
Even if you didn't have a trailer, disassembling and storing it inside a solid building would have prevented that damage.

I don't know that the 2-33s have trailers.

Ours got flooded out a number of years ago when someone neglected to remember that the aircraft parking area was really low lying and it rained pretty badly for a day or two.

We had a Maule that would tow our gliders but then it ended up on its roof after a botched grassy runway landing.

Our glider is still listed as FMC though, an L-23, and we do have glider training now and then, so I'm guessing we're using the Cessnas to get it up there.
