For example if a hurricane blows through and levels the school. I doubt it makes sense to focus on FIRST when everyone's education is laying in the rubble.

If that were to happen, then the team should be smart enough to realize this. I don't see why FIRST would have to enforce this, especially by choosing some number of days off from school as a benchmark.
I wouldn't mind this happening (I might be biased), but FIRST would need to make it clear that it only counts as a snow/other day if:
A) School/Extracuriculars are closed on that day in the town where your team meets.
B) The team does not work on any physical part of the robot. Not even one person in his/her garage.
Unfortunately, it would be nearly impossible to stop the team from working on CAD/code, so I would say that you don't get to make up the first 3 snow days to even things out.
