I once lived on a 1.2 square mile island that was only 6 feet above high tide. A simple tropical storm would wash over the place. I can’t imagine staying put when 50 feet of surf is coming.
1.2 miles sq mile island I could’nt imagine.Where we(Wife,I and the youngins)were was 2 miles wide,,,this reminds me of an old Black and White Movie(can’t think of the name)where folks tie themselves in trees.This is a bad storm for these folks
