Putting indoor plants out in the rain: a newbie question

Help

I've been taking care of plants for several years and finally starting to get the hang of it! This is still a mystery: are there any plants that should not be put out in the rain during a storm? I see people on this sub having great success with letting them get drenched. The plants I'm considering doing this include: a monstera, a fiddle leaf fig, a big schefflera arboricola, a prayer plant and one more with waxy leaves (don't know the name). I watered all today, and storm might last a few days - so might try on Wednesday. Any tips / words of caution? Thank you!!
