Possible, yes; probable, unlikely. In observing Yom Kippur (and Rosh Hashanah the week earlier), many Jews will not watch TV or listen to the radio and will spend the majority of the time in their synagogue. Given there was information regarding the hurricane for days leading up to landfall it is highly unlikely that anyone was unaware of the advisory (or pending advisory).
Any responsible Rabbi would make the information available from the pulpit at the start of the services.
As my favorite Rabbi told me, the Torah says "Thou shalt _live_ by these commandments."
No religious service or obligation is more important than protecting ones life.
