Wind effect on A/C?

We're in Asheville, at the western end of North Carolina. We're getting some effects of Matthew in the form of some rain, but high winds, which continued all night. In the morning I tried to turn on the LR heat pump, but got only a click and then nothing. Got the same in the bedroom. The only common element between the two, it seems, is the wind they've been subjected to. So, the question: can sustained high winds (20-30mph) have a negative effect on roof A/C's?

thanks-
