meh i say better safe then sorry, if you got a chain saw keep it topped off with gas, have some gloves and goggles for those who are expected to have 50+ mph winds...even at 50 mph tree limbs can break off and do some damage...like i said houston which is ~80 miles from the coast got hit hard in some areas where trees fell over...like huge ones...had to cut out parts of it to let cars go through...so basically you were driving in between tree trunks of one tree in parts of Memorial and i think winds were at that time in the 70s when it got to houston...i could be wrong.
