Hurricane Irma: what to do

hey everyone- so here is my pickle. I am right I the path of Irma on the east coast. They will be calling for mandatory evacuations in the next day or so. I have a grow in the woods in 20 gallon pots with some plants about 1 month still to go, some maybe a week to go . Question is, should I take my chances with the plants that are close or should I just cut them now? I'm not sure what this storm will do to them. I'm going to try to engulf them in bushes as best I can so they won't fly away but I'm scared with the winds, they will all snap in half.
To cut or ride it out?

1st and foremost make sure your safe and your family is safe
Then I'd just cross my fingers in regards to plants

Your absolutely right. In the grand scheme of everything, a few plants mean nothing.

Im in aust watching on the news what is happening
Stay safe man and that goes for everyone else in its path

I would cut the ones that are close, and leave the others.

Don't worry about plants, bigger issues. Be safe. Prayers for everyone in storm path.

Leave them, once you come back wait a week, any survivors that come back deserved to be cloned.

Damn that sucks man. If they are close enough to smoke cut em if not then Im afraid your going to come back to some plants that have been torn to shreds. Here is what 5 mins of hail did to my plants that were covered. That almost killed some of them, I cant imagine what being hit with a fucking hurricane might have done to them. Sorry bro but hopefully you get to safety like others said. I wouldnt count on them being alive when you get back but you never know they might make it if they are some boss ass plants.

What's the point of a chop.......more than likely won't dry before it molds.....we gonna be without power for a minute.Fuck'em....worry bout you and fam

Since they are in pots, You can lay your plants on their side or let mother nature do it for you...I think you have bigger problems to worry about. Not much to do but hope and pray. Good luck out there, I feel for all you guys in her path...I got family in Cuba and Miami.

Yeah I was pretty upset, I figured they wouldnt recover but luckily I was wrong!

Thank you for all the advice, as you said I have much bigger problems to worry about. Trying to get the house secured now. I think I'm just gonna lay the pots down and whatever happens, happens. Oh well. I am going to take a before and after pic just for the heck of it
