I caught a tropical storm when I was in St John, USVI a few years ago. Wasn't even a hurricane, but by far the most bad@ss storm I've ever been in. It was like nighttime had come at 11am. Completely rearranged our villa's deck furnature. I can't imagine what a category 4 hurricane is like. Crucial stuff...this last one killed 19 people so far, and counting.
