Is that in a hurricane region?

I have said the soil of Mauritius is not its only wealth. A large revenue is derived from the repairs of vessels. No less than three dry docks are in constant operation. The island of Mauritius is situated in the hurricane regions, so that the distressed vessels of all nations put into Port Louis to refit. The dock lately constructed in Simon's Bay will deprive Mauritius of the crafts disabled off the Cape of Good Hope, but even then Mauritius will reap from the disastrous effects of the hurricanes.

Though those pictures show a gorgeous place, it sounds like buying a house built on quick sand. But if anyone does buy a house there, I'd love to come visiting in hurricane off-season.
