I would get in the car, drive away from the coast and find an elevated parking garage, drive up, ride it out there.

There is no driving to the boat. The boat is docked right in back, and at just a 25 MPH cruising speed, I can be out the inlet and in the ocean in about 3.5 minutes, (this presumes that I wouldn't pay attention to the no wake zones, which in this situation, I wouldn't!). If I was really hammering it at about 40 MPH top speed, I could be in the ocean in 2 minutes and I could be 10 miles offshore in another 7 minutes. It would be a rough ride, and totally illegal at that speed, but I certainly wouldn't care, not would my wife.
The problem with trying to drive ANYWHERE would be that EVERYONE ELSE WOULD BE DOING THE SAME THING. Roads would be totally jammed, all intersections snarled, etc.... If there was any public warning, it would be pointless to try to drive away from the coast.
