- I have seen this happen. Coconuts can be deadly in strong winds. Imagine getting one in the head at 75 mph.. ouch!! Had a friend that went to Tahiti for her honeymoon. They got hit with a tropical storm and the coconuts were flying all over. Several cars had major damage and a few crashed through the roof of their bungalow. Batter Up!!
