I vacationed to Nassau just days after Matthew came through last year. Y'all handled that storm pretty well so surely you can handle Irma if it comes your way
I'm not in Nassau I'm in a much less developed island much further south. Irene and Ike both messed us up bad. That said, anything Cat 3 or below and we still cope pretty well, things just shut down for two days as it passes through. Just waiting on a Cat 4 or 5 to ruin us one day.
Sure. Fuck the people in the islands :/
Hey, the hurricanes have to hit someone. Nothing wrong with hoping they avoid your spot and hit somewhere else. I certainly wouldn't take offence as a life-long island dweller.
After all, we know they're coming eventually! It's part of life out here.
The wife and I are supposed to vacation in St. Martin next week.
We're not gonna be vacationing in St. Martin next week, will we?
Still far enough out that it could miss St. Martin entirely but you're right in the Euro path and yeah, there's a serious chance that your trip is cancelled. I remember trying to get out of where I live for a rugby world cup holiday in 2015 and a hurricane cancelled all the flights out for three days. Fortunately I was able to rebook to the next week and ended up seeing much better games. Hopefully you have similar rebooking success if it comes to that.
