The Oak trees down South have a fairly broad root system but if the ground gets saturated with water, from a long period of rain, it looses it's ability to hold the tree when a strong wind hits it.
I have large trees in my yard and didn't bother to move the RV during the five hurricane season awhile back.
I don't worry about the trees when we are in an RV park if a storm is approaching. I do look around us for any dead branches that may fall without warning. We usually pull in the slides and just ride a storm out. If we are in tornado ally, we go to the tornado shelter in the RV Park until the storm threat passes.
Glad that no one was hurt and physical items can be replaced.
