Is there a Florida tree that is hurricane safe, fast growing yet gives shade to a house?

I need to plant a tree that will block the afternoon sun from my house and lanai, yet is fast growing and safe for hurricane areas. I asked this question earlier, but the answers were not for good shade trees. I appreciate any help…
