That is actually pretty common in a hurricane or tropical storm when the winds have dropped most of the rain out they pick up.
Not to worry. You have internet and a roof over your head.

There's also a tree hanging over the roof over my head. That was my biggest concern the whole time, now the winds have doubled...

If it had been raining hard before this hurricane came in, that tree might have come down. We had several days of hard rain, and then a freak windstorm came and took out hundred year old Oak trees. This was several years ago.
The wind took roofs off, but it wasn't a tornado.
Freaky.
