Default Tomato problem

...
I have a raised garden and always plant about 8 tomato plants (two of
each variety) always with good results.
This year I put in 8 plants (4 varieties). We had a lot of rain.
Two plants died when covered with green tomatoes and the rest all had
huge, distorted tomatoes on them. They all looked like about four or
five tomatoes grew together from one stem. Anybody know what causes
this problem. I like the idea of two pound tomatoes but these were
horribly shaped.
TIA Allan


Could they be infested with some kind of virus? I've been growing tomatoes
for many years and never saw anything like that.
