Checked the yard before Isaias. Bougainvillea is squared away. Mango tree lost two branches last storm. Staged tools to prune after this one. Anyone else prepping for plant damage?

Good call on the mango tree! They can take a beating. We tied down our young avocado tree to help it out. After storms, we usually see a lot of palm fronds down—how about you?
