Hurricane Wilma update - $18 M in banana damage in S. Fla

I was informed a few days ago from a friend in the local grocery business that the damage to the S. Florida banana crop from Hurricane Wilma was in excess of $18 million.

My heart goes out to the businesses (every year!) in FL who are affected by weather.

I am not really up to date on the banana industry. Where are bananas grown in FL as a food industry? On a related note, does anyone know if/where pineapples are still grown in FL?
