Norm, I'm in NC and we have had more hurricanes than any other single location that I know of. I like web strapping. I actually use web strapping for a normal ( as in weather) anchor rode. It will abrade and there is little material compared to conventional line because it is flat and strong and doesn't have a lot of mass. I would put chafe guard on webbing just like nylon or polyes ter or what ever. The triple strand nylon will abrade quicker than braid. If I was using all chain in a hurricane I would consider the webbing to attache to the cleat. I would also use a length of nylon triple strand as a shock absorber, and might even put a weight on the rode that would lay on the bottom near the boat to give some "give" in the chain rode. If you have a steady 100 knot wind gusting to 125 etc. the rode can get pretty tight and you need some play to deal with wave action. That's my opinion.
