Take them seriously.  Not like I did.  My Seifrizii is a trunk lighter after being blown over in its terracotta in its stand so when it fell off the deck and I got to it the whole plant was upside down on the lawn.

*visualizes having to bring all my palms inside if we get a hurricane*

 

*has massive anxiety attack*

 

I didn't have any plants when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston (that's a lot of H's), but the only grocery trucks that were running were the pork truck and the Heineken truck - so - we literally put a little Weber grill in the garage and lived off of ribs and Heineken for 2 weeks. Def had worse experiences with hurricanes.

Sorry for the loss.  Tip-If you can't bring them in water them good to make them heavier or pull pots together touching each other.

This sounds like an excuse to buy more palms.
