good mtb pedals usually only die from hitting big rocks and logs on trails so I wouldn’t worry too much about some rust. If they spin easily I’d clean with something like wd 40 etc and a brush and then lubricate. If you feel/hear/see something wrong with the spindle bearings as you spin then do some simple and zen helpful maintenance….
When I know I’ll be riding in bad wet weather for a few days I’ll use white lightning on my pedal springs, chain etc.
Btw…. A good storm, a warm place to sit and read and some tea ftw….well if I can come back to ca. within a couple of days that is. 
hoping you go through the storm without any problems!!!!! I'd forget the diet and stock up on comfort food
