When we moved here in 2004, a year of several tropical storms in the area, our neighbors had just had their home landscaped with several queen palms. As the storms hit and the winds pounded relentlessly, we watched those palms begin to tilt...and tilt. Then, as if in a ballet, they slowly fell to the ground.
After the storm was over, the palms were righted.
Another storm hit us and once again the palms went to ground...and they were righted.
Today, they're gorgeous and healthy.
If your newly planted queen was merely uprooted, then my experience suggests that if it is replanted in a timely manner it will be fine. It's toast, however, if the wind actually snapped it in half.
