SoCal,
You live near me. In the nearly two-decades I've been here I've never boarded up my windows, but as terracore mentions, it really is up to nature. I don't think it's possible to give a definitive answer to your question, but if you want to be cautious, having material handy to barricade windows won't do any harm.
Personally, my priorities are a source of power (i.e., a portable generator) and a decent emergency kit with food, water, medications etc. I've not had to use the emergency kit so far, but it's good to know it's there.
Iselle devastated Paradise Drive in HPP but fortunately left Kaloli Drive more-or-less alone, so there was access to Kaloli Point, but the next storm might be different so I would prepare for a few days of being unreachable just to be on the safe side.
