Last night we had a thunderstorm with high winds whip through. When I check my plants this morning the 845 Bobier was laying over. When I checked closer this evening it seemed to be righting itself but I noticed I could see the roots at the base of the stem. Almost as if someone had pulled the whole plant up about a half an inch. My inclination was to mound more soil around it but thought I would run it past you guys before I did anything. Any ideas?

I'd pull up more soil to cover the roots! You will have a major set-back if any of the roots dry out!

I would cover my seedlings with a five gallon bucket, or turn the wheel barrow over on it. Anything to protect them in the early stages. Stan (as useual) is on the dime, also carefully rebury the roots/stem.
