Storm Damage

How did everyone get on after the storms yesterday. I had a pane of glass smashed in the greenhouse, all my sunflowers were felled, the sweet pea frame collapsed and the outdoor tomatoes are all leaning drunkenly. Other than that everything is fine! Wonder of wonders, the runner bean frame is still standing.
