Sorry to hear about your losses Lu. Sounds bad. Seems people on this list have had too much of these kinds of events. Wish you the best for a quick recovery.

If the plants were healthy when the damage hit and weren't damaged too much, they'll produce new leaves and continue to mature the squash. If not, you'll know within a couple of days and can harvest the squash then. Though if they aren't mature, they may not have much market value.

Hi! We were hit with wind and hail Monday night and all my crops are
destroyed. Was wondering if the vines on winter squash are still
attached to the fruit -will they continue to mature or should I cut them
off? I lost my greenhouse and all my veggies and cut flowers but we
were blessed since lots of people lost houses, barns and much more. Lu
