It was a pain in the butt when I was in Marine Corps aviation stationed at both MCAS Cherry Point, NC and MCAS Beaufort, SC.
A hurricane would start up in the Caribbean. We'd have to put X's on all the windows with masking tape, fly all the airplanes that would fly inland, stack all the planes that wouldn't fly in a hangar, move everything else into a hangar, nail everything else down that there wasn't room for in a hangar, etc. Then the hurricane would change direction and go somewhere else.
You'd just get everything undone and back to normal when another hurricane would start up and you'd do it all over again.
I also went through a major typhoon when I was at Atsugi, Japan. ("Hurricane" and "typhoon" are synonymous, usage depends on what part of the planet you're on).
Once at Cherry Point, a major hurricane went right over the top of us. It was just like they say, it blew like hell from one direction for a day, then was dead calm for a couple of hours while the eye went over, then it started up from the opposite direction.
A high school classmate of mine once flew on the hurricane hunter airplanes that flew into the eye of the storm. And people thought I was crazy for racing stock cars.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
