Looks like that tree had a crummy root system where as PT Cruisers are completely rooted, right from the factory.

Good luck! Which island?
Merritt Island in Florida. Not as bad as being in the Bahamas, but it isn't a good thing either.
That's in the middle of the river, right?
Yes, but technically they are saltwater lagoons even though they are named as rivers.
Ya we just called it the intercoastal where I lived for a little.

The roots on that tree seems very shallow for a tree that size.
I wonder if there was something wrong with it.

Florida... their is no soil just sand. It doesn't have to go far to get a lot of water.

@coliver Good point.
I'm just used to trees having roots that go for 20 feet down..

Glad to see it doesn't look like much damage where you are at!
How'd you get the pictures so quick?

Just up the road from my parents. A1A didn't fare so well. The Flagler Pier suffered some massive damage and the last 3rd of it is gone from some reports.

Hope you're alright @IRJ looks like quite the mess thus far.

@coliver That is insane that so much land was pulled out from under that road!
