Assessed the storm damage from yesterday.

Corn is very bedraggled looking, but upright. Most of the tomatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, and cowpeas have pretty much had their leaves stripped. The potatoes and Napa cabbages have some leaf/stem damage but not bad. Onion family stuff is all pretty much okay, except for the shallots, which took a bit of a beating, as did the carrot tops. The grains were not hurt at all.

The good news (WHEW! It was a close call!) is that none of the weeds seem to have suffered. :-(

The other (maybe) good news is that the last time this happened, the tomatoes recovered with a vengeance, and gave us our best crop to date.
