Last night a strong storm with high winds hit. I noticed today that my 5' Vanda Orchid has been snapped off. The Orchid has many long roots along the 3' snapped portion. Can I just tie it up to the driftwood display that it has called home for 22+ years?

You can attach it to a new piece. It will quickly establish and be just fine.
Chances are if the base piece has roots and is roughly a foot long, new leads will form along with new roots.
You should clip both of the broken ends even and dust each with cinnamon.
