Default blown down corn

anyone grow corn? i don't and i am curious about something.

when strong winds blow corn down like at a 45 degree angle or worse, is it possible for the corn to stand back up straight by itself? i'm sure the answer is no.

the reason i ask is because i saw a plot that was really knocked down due to a tornado in this area and a few days later it is straight up at 90 degrees! it's a small enough plot it may have been picked up by a person but even then i'd think the corn once pushed over would not stand up.

what about an entire field of corn like acres? is that a total loss to a farmer?

thanks
