You overestimate the inconvenience. For you it will just be a rainy weekend and a few hours of lots of wind-driven rain.
Take your precautions, then sit back and enjoy it.
To quote W.S. Gilbert:
There is beauty n the bellow of a blast
There is grandeur in the growling of a gale
There is eloquent outpouring
When the lion is a-roaring
Or the tiger is a-lashing of its tail.
