really.. must be southern oaks cause the ones up here have a very deep
tap root and almost never get blown over. they are very slow growing
reaching great ages before they get really BIG.

Ours do not have tap roots - just a large mass of shallow roots. The
tops get heavy and the mix of wet soil and high wind causes them to
topple.
