Default Storm damage from recent low pressure in FL

Lost a few plants from the recent 2 days of wind here in C. Florida. There were 50 mph gusts - luckily, none of my other plants were uprooted. The D. Cavendish always seem to be the weakest rooted. Lost 2 Cavendish and a Praying Hands that was loaded with fruit and snapped half way up. Looks like the Praying Hands were mature enough to harvest, though. African Rhinohorn was shredded, but stayed upright. I had tied an Ice Cream to a fence post and that one weathered the storm as well.
