Electronics in a power outage.
Consider turning off and unplugging potentially sensitive electronics. I'm thinking my NAS backup box is a good candidate. I have a laptop, but my SO's desktop will be shutdown overnight too.
The risk is from repeated power fluctuations or surges with a grid being hammered by tree falls, heavy ice and high winds.

Where do you park overnight?
With ice accretion and high winds, it's probably a good idea to think about the risk of falling tree limbs. An alternate parking spot, or garage might be a good choice.
I'm a bit worried a falling tree branch will knock some of the hail dents out of my car's roof. I've become attached to them.
