Grab any tape you have in the house worth a shit, preferably duct. You'll need twine and splints as well. Make splints out of sticks, then go do your repairs. Use the twine to tie the plant up to itself. I'm assuming you are in flowering now b/c duct tape isn't something to be used for vegging plants. I should make a guide for this, 4 hurricanes in Florida taught me well.

Holy shit, you should have seen last night. I've been up all morning 5am-now9:30, making repairs(the duct tape splint you just mentioned) and staking plants up that got totally flattened. I knew the Florida wind would come around sometime. Windiest(is that really a word) day yet. 40-70 mph gusts! That wasn't even a tropical depression!

For vegging plants, there is an inexpensive velcro adjustable repair tape...check the gardening section at Home Depot.

Wilma wiped out an entire crop of mine in the Okeechobee area 6 years ago. I didn't even bother preparing them for triple digit winds, too busy boarding up the house.
