I lived in a hurricane prone part of the US for most of my career. I had discussions with the kids and wife [if I had one at the time] about what to do if a hurricane was approaching knowing I would likely not be available. Cat 1 or 2. Sit tight. Cat 3 put up storm shutters and sit tight. Cat 4 put up storm shutters and evacuate if they tell you too. Cat 5. If you have time put up storm shutters but if not run like hell.
They knew well that even if I was there I could not stop wind or water.
