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.

Well if you live in Miami you're either going out Haulover Inlet or Government Cut and if you can make it out to the Atlantic from your dock in under four minutes at any speed you must be living in a very nice place. Congrats  |
