Storms can be an eye opening experience, they test your metal.
They should direct you to focus on reinforcing the weaker parts of your house.
Run options where your power is still out with no water flow.
Find the neighborhood that got hurt the worst and plan for that happening to you.
Build at least a 2 week supply of food and water that can be used under the worst conditions.
The hardest thing to find after a serious storm is a dry place, so gather material that will give you one outside your house.
I use my mountain gear, Northface tent with a heavy roll of plastic, large heavy plastic bags, camp stove and med supplies.
Houses can loose their roof in 100 mph winds, but a plastic trash barrel, lined with a bag, filed with food and water, then sealed with duct tape will survive 100 + winds. Your house could be a swimming pool but you'll still have a dry place in your yard to go.
Being on your property after the storm is important if looting becomes a problem.
You can't alway evacuate, you can't always go to a neighbor, you can't always get in your car, sometimes you have to wait it out.
Sometimes you have to stay and help your neighbors.
Just remember what a good perspective is:
"Even in the valley of the shadow of death, two and two do not make six."
Leo Tolstoy
