Last night was our first big monsoon type rain/wind storm. The brugs did fine, stood up to it all with no problem.

The Giant Timber Bamboo lost the tops to two of its new shoots. If they don't have time to harden off before the rains arrive, they are too weak to withstand the high winds. It topped these two off at about the 14' level, so they should just bush out from there and be OK.

Here's a less than perfect image of "Raindrops & Brugs", along with the 4' pieces of the bamboo.
