In my area when they're unhappy they just die... slowly or overnight.

I feel for those coconuts. Poor fellas been there for years then head first into the sand bum up in the air. Not a very dignified ending haha

Pretty scary if you have property near the ocean down there Daryl!

Frank, those coconuts were probably planted to close together anyway...

Get a back hoe out there and dig up those poor guys and re-plant. That's at least what my first reaction was to that picture.

Knowing coconuts they would survive if this was done within a day or two of the toppling.

I say stand them back up like a lollipop and let the birds nest in them. Maybe at the right distance, Wal could string up a hammock and write a new song. B)

What surprises me the most I think is that I don't see a bit of the canopies anywhere in the sand. They've got to be under quite a bit of piled up sand.

I hope somebody rescues them...I'm sure they would survive. The swell and tides have backed off now...all we have to deal with now is torrential rain.

Gonzer, I'm sure I saw Taylor riding down the beach on his horse the other day!
