Caribbean - the perfect climate?
In article , Earl Evleth says...
The whole region has the possibility of a hurricane, although I suspect
the very south area (Union to Grenada) might have, presently, fewer
incidents.
Its my understanding Trinidad has been free of a direct hit by a hurricane
although Tobago took a big hit in 1963 and they are only a short distance to the
north.
Volcanic problems are rarer than hurricanes. There are only a couple of
islands afflicted. Montserrat is notorious. Mount Pelée in Martinique
blew up in 1902 and only 2 out of 30000 people survived the disaster. Sounds
like a Hollywood movie. Otherwise there are no problems.
There have been problems with earthquakes. A massive earthquake hit Port Royal
Jamaica in 1692 killing 2000 people and there have been others. Any volcanic
island, read lush green islands with mountains, represents a region with a
potential for earthquakes.
