Never been thru a hurricane, but we did have a "wind event" here in SoCal last year with winds upwards of 100mph that knocked out power for days and tore off roofs and knocked down fences and trees in our neighborhood. I was also there for the 9.2 Alaska earthquake in 1964 (showing my age here).
It's always scary. For anyone in harm's way, take cover, and I hope you will be safe.
