the 1725 was buffered from the high straight line winds and from what i can tell got maybe one bent leaf at the base. that is it. the 1209 has at least 4 snapped leaves at the base and had 4 semi rolled over vines that were propped back up. the 1493 took it the worst with 6 completely rolled over vines and 2 leaves on the main snapped and about 5 on secondaries. all secondaries were propped back up using 6' garden stakes on an acute angle with each one supporting at least 3' leaf stalks. this takes 2 stakes per rolled secondary. glad i have a barrel full from over the years. tomorrow i will put dirt back over any tap roots unrooted from the roll overs and back some soil over them to re-stabilize before next storms. i have much practice from these storms and new damn well yesterday that i was due as i been dodging hail storms within half miles of my house all spring. hopefully this is the one and last powerful punch of the season as far as storms go. yea right. lol. a season to remember for sure.
