not be too much problem if you use a quick draining bonsai soil. Wind, however, will

Indoor storage is almost always a good idea with hurricanes. Under your
benches is almost always a bad idea. High winds will toss around anything which is
not anchored. Even a well anchored item may be damaged by other things being turned
into missiles, e.g.. branches, neighbors' lawn furniture, loose boards, shingles, etc.

Thanks for the warning Alan. I don't know yet what we're going to have for wind, so I'll
just have to wait and see. Some of my trees are simply too large to bring inside, so
they will have to weather the storm outside. My smaller ones could come inside if
necessary. I could also put them in my winter storage area which is somewhat sheltered
if it looks really bad.
