The eye is not really the problem Jenny - you prob saw the worst of it. When the eye is overhead, everything is calm and the sun shines - till the inner wall passes, then the hell starts again. It's kinda weird - you can sit on the balcony and have a cigar while the eye passes overhead
There was one hurricane that hovered over.. one of the Virgin Isles for about 3-4 days. That ripped every boat to shreds and caused extensive damage to construction, but little, if any, casualties.
