Your anchoring scheme sounds good. Tandem instead of dual. Although two friends reported anchor chain/shackle parting in extreme conditions, the main problem seems to be chafe at the bow. I would use several nylon connections set up to loosen a foot at a time during the storm to "freshen the bitt".
I agree. I would stay and fight. I hear the biggest danger is stuff blown down on you and your own boat dragging. Judicious use of the engine will help in both cases.
