Do not use awnings in heavy rain?????? Really???

There are two concerns:

1. If the awning gets wets, you really need time to dry it before rolling it up - otherwise it will be subject to mold and mildew and you'll ruin the awning material.

Here in Florida, if we put the awning away every time it rained, well, we'd have little use for awnings.

If mine hasn't had sufficient time to dry before its time to leave, I take a battery-powered leaf blower on the roof and dry it off. Same for the top of the slides.
