I remember when Hurricane Irene hit us. It started on Shabbos afternoon, and went into Motzei Shabbos.
An email was sent out before Shabbos to the shul membership urging everyone to stay home on Shabbos afternoon if conditions were bad. The Rabbi repeated it after davening Friday night and Shabbos morning.
Sure enough, on Shabbos afternoon, it got bad. I stayed home from shul, and davened Mincha and Maariv at home. I don’t remember what the Rabbi did, I just remember him saying that your safety is more important.
