Well I do feel better now. I feared we did something wrong. And I am
looking forward to canning them. Say, how do they do in salsa (canned)
or taco sauce?

Should be great in any kind of sauce or salsa.

Today we had a whopper of a storm here. Two trees down and a few of our
bean tripods. Hopefully the beans will survive. But the trees will
have to be removed. All the corn was flattened as well. I hope it
springs back up.

Corn won't spring back up unless it's tiny. Best get out there and prop it up.
(I have to do that sometimes.) If the corn is just leaning, a strategically placed
wad of compost might be enough to keep it upright. Otherwise, put a stake
at each end of a row and run some twine between them, looping the twine
around each cornstalk to hold it upright. (This is a two-person job.) With
blocks of corn you can run twine in a criss-cross pattern to prop the corn up.
Even the twine-braced corn will appreciate some compost packed around
the bottom of the stalk.
