The Caribbean, with its pristine beaches and azure waters, is a dream destination for many. But lurking beneath its postcard-perfect surface are the ever-present threats of hurricanes, natural disasters that can bring chaos and devastation. Hurricane Lee, a powerful Category 5 storm, recently threatened the region. Thankfully, it spared St. Croix and the Caribbean from its destructive force.
