There are no trees by the house, but like with a tornado, there is a vortex which can spin things from even a mile away into your house. Does that happen with hurricanes?
I think what I am hearing is that there would be no special actions for someone on a cliff outside of hunker down in your own home and do standard prep with food, water, and power.
The big dangers to homes in a hurricane is storm surge (flooding) and high winds that destroy the structure (usually by tearing off the roof). Things flying into the house can damage windows and siding but don't normally have catastrophic
results if people stay inside.
It sounds like your location and structure standards have mitigated the big things to worry about in regards to the home.
