Why are my rhubarb leaves doing this?? #872172

I have 3 HUGE rhubarb plants (approximately 4' tall x 5' wide), and I'm wondering why some of the leaves have recently turned themselves upside down. We've had buckets of rain and gusty winds lately, so I'm wondering if that's the cause, but I have no idea.... I know nothing about gardening. Will the leaves straighten themselves out or should I cut them off (directions needed please)? Thank you for any information that you can give me.

Hi,
The rhubarb looks healthy and as you say it could very well be the wind. I wouldn’t worry about it.
Thanks.
