I can't see there being an issue, Gitmo is a secure military facility, hurricanes don't pose much risk beyond wind damage and flooding and that wont mean a whole lot behind a foot of concrete. I'm sure they'll be much more dry and warm than when they're getting waterboarded.

I remember when my college buddy (who joined the Air Force) was in Pensacola, at the naval air station, during Hurricane Ivan. He said they moved all the personnel to a sturdy building and waited it out. From what I gathered, they have plans in place and they know which buildings are reinforced well enough to withstand the winds.
I'm sure the military has some sufficiently reinforced buildings capable of withstanding a hurricane and situated so as to avoid flooding.

JSC has plenty of buildings that are "Hurricane Proof". Mission control being one of them. They are supposed to withstand winds over 150 mph. They can't evacuate the whole center since there is alwyas an ISS Mission going.
