Default Grooves in trunk of palm tree

No lightning in the last 14 years I've been here.

I think this is a king palm (not 100% sure). Here are some photos I just
took today to show a possible problem. Up until today I thought this was
normal, but when I push on the tree, it sway very easily and I can see the
trunk move at the ground. Nothing appears wet or eaten by insects -
everything I can see and touch is hard like a normal tree.

Anyway, anyone who can share some info about this tree - is this normal or
not, etc - would be very much appreciated.

If you send me an email, please post to this newsgroup also as I do not
check this account daily.

Thanks in advance!
