Adonidia merrillii palms in trouble

First, the only reason the parking lot in Mayaguez PR is so empty is that it was 6:55 am. I didn't want you to think the shopping center is normally empty. Quite the reverse actually once all the stores open.

Anyway as you see, Adonidia doubles are in the islands and all but the next pair looked OK to me.

Sorry, lighting not ideal and only my iPhone.

Note the collapsed part of one trunk.

I could see termites in the damaged areas.

Any guesses as to the cause and predictions as to their fate?

Lots of reasonably healthy royals and bottle palms in the same lot and surely no fertilization or irrigation plus hurricane Maria's visit last September.
