Crazy weather

The wind and sea spray has been howling for 3 days straight now with gusts today up to 37kmh, the effects are so damaging to my garden. There is not much I can do to help and protect from the wind. I have put big boards of ply up supported by star pickets to protect my citrus trees. After the weather calms down its pretty much back to square one for many of the plants. Its a wonder I keep going back. Sucker for punishment I guess.
How does your garden survive crazy weather?
