Below is a picture I took today. This field received about two inches of rain in the last week and experienced the winds on Friday. Due to a combination of rapid growth from the much needed rain and strong winds at the start of elongation, some plants have a good twist or bend to them. The new leaves are also a lighter shade of green, a result of the plant growing so fast.
It seems a little varietal specific. In the past when I have seen this, the corn usually grows out of it in a few days. Keep an eye on your field and let me know if it doesn't straighten out.
