The cactus, which I believe is pictured here, came to a rest across the driveway with several arms broken off. One rolled into the street and another landed against a neighbouring home.

Falling cactus destroyed carport and three vehicles
A saguaro cactus tumbled over on Sunday morning, taking down a carport and burying two vehicles and a golf cart.
Residents at the home close to Paseo de Golf in Green Valley, Arizona, said they heard a loud crash at about 5:30am and discovered the carport ripped from the house.

Saguaros have very shallow root systems. Rain overnight may have softened the soil and brought the cactus down.
The damaged vehicles include an SUV and a vintage Cadillac car.
