    Palm trees are made to take the wind. The long trunk doesn’t present much of a profile to the and the fronds themselves can articulate so they don’t present much profile either. The fronds are also very very well attached to the tree.

    Most commonly seen trees down lately (near Houston): Large pine trees and older oak trees. When the winds get much above 100mph the pines tend to snap in half or push over. Older oak trees tend to have a heavy canopy and catch a lot of wind. They’ll push right over, especially if the ground is very wet.
