Once the ground gets saturated, hurricanes have a nasty habit of "popping" huge oak trees out of the ground, roots and all.

Last year a developer had a sub-division called "Twelve Oaks." In the span of 15 minutes it was Nine Oaks. This happened during Jeanne.

Oh yeah, I've seen oak trees get laid down by 60 MPH straight line winds in the summer, especially if the ground is saturated with moisture, like a sponge.
