Hurricanes are a part of living in the Caribbean it's just a fact of life. A category 5 hurricane named Luis hit St. Maarten on September 4, 1995. It was an extremely powerful hurricane with wind gusts of up to 200 mph and tornado action within it. You would think that would be enough to deal with but that, of course, would have been too good to be true. Unbelievably, another hurricane named Marilyn hit the island just 10 days later. This book chronicles the escapades of the Samuels family from their preparations, through the actual events and on to the aftermath. It also reveals, for the first time, things to do and not to do that are not on the 'Hurricane Preparedness' lists!It will keep you on the edge of your seat as you share the fear, the unknown and a myriad of emotions. Interwoven are flashbacks to happier times that the author tried to recapture to keep her own sanity through it all. Come and take a rollercoaster ride through another side of paradise--
