Seems odd that there's so many roots going downward compared to outward.

I suspect that it must be sandy there and perhaps some moisture lower.

Hard to tell with the tree on the ground but it looks like the canopy was weighted to the side it fell. Which if it is the case means the tree didn't react much to that with opposing roots.

I bet you don't get too many ficus blow overs.
