Tonneau Cover, Caps in a Hurricane

I'm curious what everyone's experience is in regards to hurricanes.
I live in Fl and we've had some doozies. I'm looking into purchasing the Bakflip M4 for my 17' DCLB and maybe i'm paranoid about nothing.
Do any of you remove the folding covers prior to major storms? Or is it fine if left closed?

 

We evacuated the last two and packed up everything in my Tacoma under my roll-n-lock. Nothing got wet at all! It was great. I'm selling my roll-n-lock and am on the ga/FL border if you're interested

 

Long bed?

 

The Roll-n-lock is made for a long bed but I put it on my short bed. You'd need to buy long bed rails from roll-n-lock. I think they're like $70 each.

 

It looks like you are 2nd Gen, and I believe the bed sizes are different between 3rd Gen.

 

Yes. I have a 2nd Gen.

 

I removed mine all the way to atlanta....
