    I guarantee it’s not deep enough. Hurricanes of this magnitude topple and uproot trees with massive root structures extending several meters underground. These type of DIY solutions are almost always create more hazard than they solve.

      More than likely, if the straps are attached to cement blocks, the cement is deeper than the average depth of a tree root.

      Those trees are also giant sails which transfers that much more force from the wind

      they make houses rated to hurricane winds, i don’t think the trees really care one way or the other. Engineering is often better at withstanding hurricanes than trees.
