Well since you already fertilized it, the rainfall is probably a good thing to wash the fertilizer away. Most likely, if the stems were crushed, the top part of the banana is going to die off. If there is enough energy stored in the bottom root area of the plant, then it will grow back. If they are very small plants, you probably should have contacted whomever sent them to you right away and told them of the shipping damage. Very small plants 4-8" tall most likely won't recover.
