The suggestion from Flowerjen is a good way to go, OR is there any way you can make some sort of shelter over the crowns of the plants, maybe a clear plastic bottle with the bottom cut off but keep the top on it, to give some ventilation, cut a line of small holes around the middle of the bottle, BUT, whenever you can you would need to remove the plastic bottle for an hour or more when ever you can or the plants will rot away in such a confined space without good ventilation.
If you do decide to lift the plants out and store them elsewhere till the storm season is over, when you replant them, dig a much larger hole and add plenty of horticultural sand and some small grit to the soil when you dig the hole, this gives EXTRA drainage for cool/damp or really wet weather, when you set the plants into the planting pocket, set the plant with the neck of the plants up and above the soil level and slightly tilted on its side, then add the nice gritty soil around the roots, the plant should look like it needs pressed further into the soil IF it was an ordinary plant, this is what you want anyway to prevent the succulent stems and leaves sitting in cold wet soil and also allows ant water to run off the succulent foliage/leaves, then when you have finished placing, use some more of the small grit stones as a mulch right around the whole plant so it then looks like it is sitting IN the soil level. I only grow a few of these plants in what we call a dry soil bed and I had the same trouble as you for ages till my dad showed me this method, BUT come winter or the cold rainy seasons we get here, I ,make a shelter for them by placing a few bricks on edge, then a sheet of glass or rigid plastic (perspex, then a few bricks on top of this to hold the glass in place, again you need to slightly make the glass slope just enough to keep water/rain etc from lying on the glass as it blocks out the light, this also helps to let the rain water run into the soil where the roots can reach it but the rain water dont sit in the grown /heart of the plants and rots them, it also allows air to flow through the plants and come our spring, it acts like a little greenhouse and helps fatten up the foliage/leaves. wish I could tell you an easier way, the other alternative is to pot the plants up just as I said for in the garden soil, then sink the pot into the garden where you want them to grow, when the bad weather arrives, you just lift the plants in their pots, but maybe someone else will come in and tell you another way, but for now, remove any soft wet parts with tweezers etc.good luck.
