What impact do tropical storms or hurricanes have on the island/land?
Roatan like any island is impacted by tropical storms, but fortunately because of its unique location, hurricanes are a rarity. The last major hurricane to strike Roatan was the Hurricane Mitch in October of 1998. The damage other than dock damage was centered in Punta Gorda and that was mainly due to sub standard construction. The worldwide press reported that Roatan sustained major damage throughout the island but the truth was in fact quite the opposite. Question 2.
