      I always thought Tomato blight was airbourne.
      If you have the right conditions it will show up.

      Blight can overwinter in potato tubers as well as far as I know, but a good clean will help protect against other diseases.

        Potato/Tomato blight needs green material to survive. It will not overwinter in the soil.
