Could wind cause broad bean leaves to blacken on edges?

So Yeah, My broad been plants were hardened off over a week or two and were thriving until we got those the 2 nights in a row of 110km/hr winds and rain, they were covered in fleece, and I moved them to an sheltered as possibile place (my porch actcually), do the blackened bits on the edge look like some kind of wind…

I have 4 other broad bean plants, same age in the greenhouse and they are perfect.

heres a wee pic of the efffected plants.
