Welcome to the site! I hope you enjoy it here and learn a lot! As for your question about leaves....it's pretty common for them to get shredded by harsh winds. If possible, try to plant them in a more sheltered area to prevent some of this. The browning on the tips of the bottom leaves shouldn't be too much of a concern. Bananas typically lose lower leaves as new ones emerge. Brown leaf tips can be a signal of over-fertilization or under-watering, so be sure those two things are being done properly.
