Waiting for hurricane Francine’s landfall later today. Big trees and non-top heavy trees are on the ground. I have about 25 trees in the workshop. 80-90 mph winds projected. Fingers crossed. 
Calm before the storm

I'd be putting those cinder blocks on the pots as ballast. 90mph is no joke. Good luck

Put those trees up against your home so they have shelter from full on wind. That's what I do. When we have strong winds and a tornado warning with no time to move trees to the greenhouse.

Please let us know when it's passed and you're able to do so...and be safe.

If you’re just going to leave the trees in the open like the photo shows I would lean at least one of the patio blocked on each container. If container scratches concern you can place a section of an old towel between the patio block and the container. If it’s a shear wind force those ground trees will probably blow over. That pine (I think it’s a pine) on the bench should be moved to the ground.

The house is blocking most of the wind. The tree on the bench is a honey locust and it's tied to the bench. I figured that was the best approach rather than power lifting 75 lbs or so to the ground. Low-slung trees fare really well on the ground in the wind. Winds are about 30 mph now and probably will go up to 60-70. The winds make a big counterclockwise route over land and lose some power before they reach us.

That's impressive. I've never been able to cross just one finger.

Tough to do indeed, I tried and had no luck either.
On the other hand, my nose is clean now.

Still no power or internet. Using iPhone. No damages to property or trees. Generac is a MIRACLE necessity for us now.

Power came back on at 8:00 pm. Yaaayyy! Still no internet. Not a fan of surfing the net on a phone, but it’s all I have.
