Most commonly seen trees down lately (near Houston): Large pine trees and older oak trees. When the winds get much above 100mph the pines tend to snap in half or push over. Older oak trees tend to have a heavy canopy and catch a lot of wind. They'll push right over, especially if the ground is very wet.

Palm trees are made to take the wind. The long trunk doesn't present much of a profile to the and the fronds themselves can articulate so they don't present much profile either. The fronds are also very very well attached to the tree.
