Oak trees are one of the most hardy trees in Florida, or anywhere. You'd have a hard time killing an oak tree! Oak trees have a long long tap root and it would have to be cut or broken in order for the tree to die. Unless the tree dies from old age. All trees have a life expectancy, just like people.
My guess is that those trees just happen to be a little late in coming out with their new leaves. My next door neighbor has an oak tree and it just came out with new leaves but not all trees will do this at the exact same time.
