When you travel to the Caribbean in the summer, you always have to think about hurricane season. Well, normally our luck isn't always the best... since Larry was lucky enough to win this Bahama Cruise, a thought popped into my head. Wouldn't it be ironic if once we got to Florida for the cruise a hurricane were to hit and forced us to cancel our vacation? A friend of mine went to Miami on her honeymoon, and they experienced a hurricane - so I know it can happen!
This led me to look into hurricanes in the Bahamas. I found that in 137 years, the Bahamas have been touched by either a hurricane or a tropical storm 46 times. The last time they experienced this weather was in 2007, with a tropical storm. They are affected on an average of every 2.98 years. They have direct hurricane hits once every 11.42 years. The last direct hit was in 2001, so our trip should be safe!
Think good weather thoughts during our Bahama trip in the middle of hurricane season! I'm hoping for warmth, and sunshine - not gale force winds, flooding, and pouring rain...
