Default wind damage

Well, yesterday (11-15-10) sucked!

We needed rain, but not like this. I ended up with 5 inches in the rain gauge, and most of that was between 10am and noon yesterday. I was sitting at a red light not far from home and was watching the hard rain blow through the intersection when I felt a hard gust rock my truck. When I got home I found this...

My ensete glaucum, what had been the most beautiful banana in my garden.




My Siam ruby.



Ensete ventracosum.



ae ae.



ornata mat.



mysore.



And to think I was about when a freeze would hit!
