I was writing a saga as a preface to a question. I don't know if I deleted it with a mere keystroke or what. So I'll skip to the question.

I have 4 or 5 or maybe 6 bulbs growing in pots outside, mostly in shade. All have long green straps and look good to my inexperienced eye. However, as some may have heard, we had 10 tornadoes a week ago today. I really haven't ventured out much because it just keeps raining. So can the my bulbs drown?
(in the past I've had a crinum bulb drown.)

I was about to post some pictures before the aforementioned tornadoes to show how well they were doing. Right now I'm scared to look. There's more rain in the forecast. Should I bring the pots (ahem!) inside, assuming the bulbs aren't squishy? How much water can they handle, generally speaking?

I'm about to go outside and take a look at everything. Also have to figure out what to do with my overflowing homemade rain barrels but that's another story.

Please be thinking on this and I'll update y'all once I come back inside.

Here's a few 'before' pictures.

And I had planned to ask about these with red on them.
