Three or more days to yellow would not be unusual for immature leaf. Just give it whatever yellowing time it needs. When most of it is mostly yellow, then proceed with the remainder of the flue-cure.

I'm surprised it didn't blow away your hogs, kids, and wife. Everything but the mortgage. Sounds almost like a tornado. A few weeks ago I got hail at my house south of whyte Ave. My Pergeu Brazil and Bursa that weren't in the greenhouses got tons of holes. My other plots at my friend's house in Devon and just north of whyte Ave, literally 15 blocks away didn't get hail at all. I don't even know if it rained.
