Right. Something to remember is that the huge live oak you see has been growing in that place for well over a hundred years, even with hurricanes going through. It's not going to blow down easily.

Granted, a strong enough hurricane - Cat 4+ - can take out anything, but we're in the center of the state. Hurricanes weaken quickly when they hit land.
