I had the same problems here in NW FL, the wind broke the few leaves that were left on my red bananas and burned the new leaves that were just coming out as bad as a frost.

Long term, I do not think I lost any varieties of bananas, but I know I lost stems that would have produced blooms this summer--there may be one Orinoco and one Raji Puri that I was able to save enough of to still get a bloom.

I had to put all of the container bananas back inside on Sunday--I think I can get them back out today--should be in upper 60s and low 70s for a week or so.
