Build all above-surface structures out of inflatables. During heavy weather deflate and retract (5-10m). Use simple solid-state generators, e.g.

An underground data center would work if hurricane safety is your top concern. In any case a location on land is probably cheaper to rebuild.

I think an eventual hurricane would not destroy the data center, only just the wind turbines.
