On windy days I can see palm trees swaying back and forth. They look so thin and flexible, I just have a hard time thinking they are strong. I mean I can walk up and push on the trunk and it will move back and forth. I know that they are designed that way by nature to protect from topical storms, etc. I also know that there are multiple ways to define strength. But they seem really weak to me.
Until... I saw a Toyota Corolla get completely pwned by a palm that was only about 6" thick on the 55 freeway, this morning. Yeah, the tree was still there doing fine. That car got completely jacked (driver seemed to be ok).
I really wish I had a picture...
