The night before Hurricane Irene, putting stakes in the ground to weather the storm might have been the best decision I could have made (besides pulling them from the ground beforehand and putting them in pots).
During the storm, the plants were under 6-8 ft of river water as the hurricane swelled the local streams/rivers and everything nearby. I got back last Monday to a sorrow sight - convinced these things did not survive. A week later, here are some shots that show me these ladies might actually pull through:
