We had a line of thunderstorms move through last night about 11pm. I had already gone to sleep but a noise on the patio woke me up. I got up to see what was going on, thinking it might be hail, which thankfully it wasn't. The gust front of the storm had blown over on of my 30 gallon containers that held two 5' tomato plants that are loaded with green fruit. These containers are heavy, so I was surprised it blew over. I stood it back up and snugged my grill up behind it and scooted back into the house. 8 green tomatoes were knocked off, but this morning the plants look fine.
