I just heard on 'Coast to Coast' that a whole island off of Haiti is missing. Does anyone know anything about this?

The rumor is that it is Tortuga Is. off the coast of Haiti.

Haven't heard anything in the English press, but here's a link to a story from a Spanish language news site. I have no idea how credible this source is.

Hard to believe that an island of this size could be washed away by a hurricane.
