Okayy so I think in this episode that the had the tree just staright first and then they tried it.Then they bent it ONE way and shot the straw through it again and it didnt work again..Well I think that in a hurricane the straw is upposed to shoot through the trunk right?Well in a hurricane the tree is moving this way and that so the pores are opening and closing at random times.Palm trees in a hurricane are not just standing upright or bent ONE way.They move with the wind..which is in crazy movements.So I think it is still possinle for the straw to shoot through it if it was mving like it ACTUALLY does in a hurricane.Dont you agree?
