why is my fatalli pepper plant wilting?

[tjg911]

and maybe dying? i am so upset it is loaded with peppers but i need another couple of weeks to fully grow and ripen all the fruits and from the looks of things i have a few days.

tropical storm irene blew from the south then the north. when i went into the garden monday this plant looked fine but was leaning at a 45 degree angle. the ground at it's base was a hole about 2 to 2.5 inches from the plant being pushed by the winds. things looked ok for the following days but friday i saw all the leaves were wilting badly. i hadn't watered anything since friday 8/26 so i gave it 2 gallons of water with neptune's harvest fish emulsion as it was the time to fertilize all the plants. today it is still wilted and i'm worried it will die. the peppers are probably drying not ripening.

is this from being pushed around? something eating the roots? the scotch bonnet is next to it and is fine. 4' away are 3 cayenne plants and if i lost all of them i'd say who cares as they are not hot.

is there anything i can do?????
