Default Help Identifying please

I first noticed this on my Amazon Chocolate, which are the first two pictures. I then went around and could find the same thing on several plants. The Amazon plant looks a little droopy, but I think it is the three days of flooding that is causing it. I also was wondering what causes the fruit to look like the picture. These are all mature plants with ripening fruit on them, so what should I do to remedy? (or can I?)

Thanks

Sorry, I now see that it is early blight, but does that also explain the way the fruits look in the picture? I thought the fruits would get dark and sunk in .

Rob, #5 looks like Early Blight and is different from the other pictures (1, 2, 4). Not sure about what those solid brown spots are on the leaves and the stems. The tomatoes with the scarring on them I do not believe are diseased.

That is an interesting cracking pattern on the fruit but it has no direct relation to the Early Blight. You're probably on the right track brengolio, a lot of moisture in the green fruit for an extended period of time and even wild swings in temperature can cause cracking on some varieties.
