I agree. But if Disney wanted to leave a well-trained, well-equipped, highly-frickin’-paid, skeleton crew there to keep watch, I can understand that. As long as all of my previously mentioned conditions were met. :-)

Disney described the shelter on Castaway Cay built for a Category 5 hurricane. Generally, this means built to withstand 160-170 mph.

Dorian boasted sustained winds to 185 mph with gusts to 220 mph at landfall over Great Abaco. More like a Category 6-7 hurricane, if there was such a designation. Since Castaway Cay did not encounter the eyewall, the Disney employees were likely spared the strongest winds. Still too close for comfort, as a wobble would have been devastating.
