High humidity makes a nice environment for mold to grow. Which obviously would destroy the media inside the container. Offsite backups are made to prevent exactly this scenario, but since the hurricane destroyed entire villages and cities from what I've seen, the backup would have to be ideally in a different state hundreds of miles away from you.
If offsite backup isn't an option, then periodically writing you most important data to tapes at home and then taking them with you somewhere safe is also an option. They can hold terabytes and the containers are mostly sealed, so you don't have to worry about shock damage or scratches when handling them.
