Death Rain? Blackberry Plants Dying In Panama City, FL

The rose bush from last night after the rain...
Here are more pics of the yard today...
My 11 year old is devastated. She has been growing wild blackberrys since she was 5 or 6. This patch started as a few plants allowed to grow wild which now covers most of our land and allows for many snacks and pancakes and muffins. This years crop is destroyed!
The berries have turned BROWN...the same as the rest of the plants ....
I took this close up so you can see the 'stain' spreading along the veins in the leaves. This doesn't show how the plants are dying internally as they process the rain....
And, lastly, poor Mr Rosebush by light of day. He is definitely dying...

I have black berries here at my home.
Let me go out there and see if the same thing is happening...
Here are some shots of my blackberries...
Yet a fig tree nearby looks perfect...so far....
