I got nuthin'. Are we talking about a car, an air plane, a boat or what?? My best guess would be to talk to Mathew
about your mystery.

How do you know the sensor is working if the lights don't come on?

What sensor, what bulbs, what lights? Did the hurricane make things
wet? Which of them were related to your lights, and ... what lights?

Do you have a VOM?

That just means the detector circuit saw motion. It does not mean the
triac that actually turns the light on is working.

I'm guessing the storm shorted the sensor. Try resetting by turning off
to the light. After 5 minutes, turn it on. If not working, the sensor is
most likely the culprit, regardless of the red light.

Mathew was a Himmacane. We have to be politically correct now.
Hurricanes have girl names.

Or maybe Matthew self-identifies as a hurricane?
