Glad to hear everything wasn't as bad as you had initially feared. Your AWESOME yard lives on!

So sorry to hear about your problem Randy, and glad it wasn't much much worse. What is interesting is that the bananas have bent but not shredded - guess it happened too fast!

Hey, Randy. I'm glad your yard escaped the worst damage. Your plants are still looking excellent even after that storm. Your banana leaves didn't even get shredded that badly thank goodness. Way to think about it positive--plenty more room to plant more tropicals! In a couple weeks, you'll have forgotten what happened. I'm just glad you didn't get any house damage and that your family members are fine.

I was thinking the same thing: sustained winds leave me with fringes rather than leaves. I'm amazed how good the yard looks after cleaning up -- congratulations!

Yes Nancy - we get lots of wind here as we are near the coast in a world-class kite/windsurfing area. All of my nanas that are above the protective walls and hedges have leaves shredded into fingers. This must have been a single hard blast! Interesting!
