Personally, I don't think imminent great danger (although I think that was/is a possibility too) is a requirement to justify closing things down for a day. Some models predicted tropical storm conditions for this area. Is that not enough?

Above average wind and rain for most of the day was a near certainty. If everybody just routinely goes about their business in conditions like this...with the possibility of worse...you're just inviting trouble.

I totally agree with the closures.
