So you are saying material things mean more to you than your life? Interesting.
Whether your actual life is that threatened depends on a great many factors, not merely are you in the area.
How far from shore are you?
How is the building you are in constructed?
What is your elevation, and what is the elevation of the surrounding area?
Are there tall objects that are heavy enough to damage your builing if they fall?
Is there adequate labor to remove flammable debris fter the storm passes in a timely manner?
I have lived through a whole lot of hurricanes and typhoons.
Including being out of doors much of the time during one in my Marine Corps days.
Generally though if you are more than thirty five miles inland when they hit they are much reduced, and that is close enough that you commute to work if your employment is near the shore and you live on the mainland.
