To be clear this is definitely not normal winter weather for us here in the south.
No doubt everything is going to die down to the ground.

I was able to save my variegated bananas, a truly tiny, and a small red which I had potted and brought indoors.
So sorry to hear this is definitely a historic cold event. Hopefully we get a break from these events for a while! If not I guess we have to get creative. You can put chicken wire around the bananas and stuff them full of straw, this protects the main pstem from freezing and they can recover more easily.
