1018 Van Hook - This one looks worse than it is. About 50% of the leaves were lost but only one secondary and I think it will be ok.

My tomato greenhouse had a piece of flying wood puncture the back side but no damage inside.

The plastic on the big greenhouse got ripped out of the ground and has slight damage. I fixed that this morning at 6 am. The attributes in the greenhouse got sucked out and were lying in an adjacent ditch. Only very minor damage to the inside plants. The main on the 1256 snapped 3 inches behind the pumpkin I hope to pollinate, but that had nothing to do with the storm.

The long gourd got ripped in half. I am now training a secondary vine to take over. A second long gourd which I had just planted out survived.

The corn got shredded but the growing tips seem to be fine.

My tallest sunflower (almost 8 ft) got punctured but is still growing. I lost my third biggest sunflower completely.
