As Canna said, make sure you're gonna be good first. I'm not all that far from you and I'm getting some pretty rough weather, and you're a lot closer to the coast so I'm sure it's gonna get too bad out to finish your plant. The only way I wouldn't cut your plant early is if you can somehow manage to finish it inside....if, and only if, you're safe to stay at your home, you can always bring it inside and finish it off indoors. But I'd be afraid power outages would stress her out and make her go all hermie on ya...so, it comes back to harvesting early...
