      Thanks for the well wishes! We made it out- it was a 13 hr drive though. We’re safe now and have our fingers crossed for all of the west coast Floridians.

    Hey guys, from West Coast FL Tampa Bay Area North. We're staying. We have too many pets, the chickens, the budgie birds and the dog. Our friend we could have stayed with is in North Carolina so they're recovering from Helene. We're battening down our windows with plywood and trusting the Lord to get our little Noah's Ark through this. Glad you guys have a place in Georgia.

      Hopefully you guys won’t get any surge from this, praying for you guys and praying for Florida. Driving up today we saw so much destruction in South Georgia from Helene. Must have been a good bit of tornadoes that touched down

      @@IslandsnHighlands Thanks. We will be keeping an eye on the radar. We have one of those little Noaa radios too. We just finished getting all the chickens packed up and putting our truck at a friends house since we can only fit our one jeep in the small garage we have. I might post a video of what we have done. I did post one a few days ago of my chickens and my dog Olive running around with them. Thank you for the prayers. Means a lot. We've got you and your family in ours too. Yeah some places got it so bad like North Carolina.

    Good luck guys. Your garden is so beautiful I hope you don’t get too much damage. Most of your plants will regrow anyway, especially the banana trees. I heard it’s going to turn slightly south before landfall and quickly turn to cat 2 lasting about 12 hrs all up.

      We're just south of the Cape on the east coast- we currently are under a Hurricane watch with a 2'-4' storm surge warning. Not nearly as bad as the Tampa area on the west coast..

Had been looking for people near my area to learn from and it’s great to have your channel! I do believe this is my first comment on the channel. It will be interesting to see what happens since my 14’+ Blue Java got beat up in the one two weeks ago, not to mention the fruit! Stay safe guys loved the video!

      @@IslandsnHighlands Banana Tree can be saved by this method. We use this technique back in my country.
      Place a long, thick stick (v shape at the top)firmly into the ground next to the banana tree, securing it tightly to the tree using a rope or stick alone should work. This method can help protect the banana tree during storms to a certain extent.
