Try to find an angle to the waves and a speed that minimizes the beating you are going to take. Hope it's just passing through and will diminish in a few minutes, and ride it out. It's been my experience that frontal activity lasts only a few minutes and then conditions drop back to something less stressful.
I am a coastal sailor, so there is usually somewhere I can navigate to out of the worst of it if it isn't just passing through.
I totally agree that things have to be put away ALL of the time. When it hits, it is too late to tie things down or put them away...
