The same weather system that hit Dallas/Fort Worth moved into my area yesterday afternoon. A particularly violent cell of that storm came right over my house: dark as night, winds of 75-80 mph, nickle-size hail like I've never seen, and torrential rain. I rarely move to a closet, but I did this time. I was sure we were going to get slammed.
The ground was covered with hail which remained for several hours. The cold hail produced clouds of fog, even when the rain was still beating down. One of the most surreal things I ever saw. Stephen King-ish.
I had one tree blown down across my driveway, and another behind my house. I was amazed that more weren't toppled.
But to my question: are these tomato plants, which comprise the entirety of my "garden", goners? Will they put back out, or do I need to try to find some new sets and start over?
