BUT, don't do that right now. Take a frond to the Extension Service office. You might take a cup of soil from under the tree too for a soil analysis.
The tree should recover.

The University of Florida has a download that you can look at for yourself and compare with your palm.
I would take a frond to the extension office and ask for the advise from an expert as Carl advised.
Hopefully it isn't butt rot.
