Default How do I fix this leaning tree after what Wilma did to it?

I have an oriental fruit tree, called "Longan"? it's about 15 to 18 feet
tall, and many trees in my neighborhood fell after Wilma, it stood up. I was
happy that it did not snap (the metal light pole ten feet from it snapped in
half!).

But when I inspected it real close, I can see that it is now leaning a
little bit. Also as I walked on one side, the soil is very soft and loose,
as if the root has been pulled up a bit.

How do I fix this? If I ignore it it probably will grow until the next storm
and that's it. Is there a way to "right" it? The trunk is about 12 inches in
diameter.
