Default Banana in trouble!

Hey everyone, looking for some help.
So I have what has been up to this point a very vigorous strong healthy dwarf orinoco that stands at 5'2" at the top of the pstem. Suddenly looking at the plant this am it is in serious rapid decline, and I don't know why.

Additional info: It's been 100F here all week, which is pretty normal for here in the summer months, and this dwarf has seen and fluffed it off before. What I did differently this time is I gave it a 2nd gallon of water in the aft as the heat has been steady all week. There was/is no standing water, so I can't imagine it's overwatering.

What is causing the lower leaves to droop and collapse so rapidly?
Also, is there any chance to save it?
