Tall plants like sprouts, purple sprouting and even cauliflowers will have been loosened in the soil by the winds, even if they weren't as bad as forecast. Add a stout cane or short stake, tying the plants in if you can't wedge them between the leaves. Firm the roots back in well with your foot; don't be shy, the cabbage like a very firm soil. When brassicas get loose in the ground, at the best you'll get loose, 'blown' sprouts and cauliflowers; at the worst the torn roots will sit in a wet hole and you'll lose the whole plant.
