What kind of palm is this?  looks different from the common sabals or pindos

I think cold is by far the most likely thing that damaged/killed them, yes Virginia Beach is colder and palms will die periodically there. The thing is I don't know when this picture was taken, I didn't look at it on the desktop where you can usually see a date on the street view but it must be after a colder than average winter. I don't see any sabal palmetto in the images, they surely would have faired better than the Butia etc.

Those dates on streetview are not always correct.  I've seen many that were not.   I also wonder what would kill a windmill that far south.  I mean they can survive and grow tall even in DC.  In Va Beach they get very tall.   Seems odd that one that far south would croak from cold, unless it was directly exposed to ocean winds.  That wreaks havoc on windmills.

Lack of water is the main culprit out here. As soon as windmills start to show water stress its just about impossible to bring them back.
