We stayed with my nephew in Ft. Lauderdale. He has a row of bamboo along his fence that are about 4 inches in diameter and 30 feet tall. I told him they won't last long, as the winds hit over 100 mph and gusted to 120. I thought they would come down quickly, as big limbs broke off his oak tree and crashed all around his place. I was surprised that the bamboo swayed in the wind but didn't break off. He didn't know what kind they were, but they sure were strong.
