Here's an idea to prevent hurricanes. If you pay me, I will not visit your location on vacation. Here's how why it works:
August 2000, I spent a week on Puerto Rico then went to spend a week on St. Croix. I immediately discovered that hurricane Debby was aimed directly at St. Croix. At the last minute (clearly the hurricane discovered my whereabouts) it changed track, ... and hit Puerto Rico.
August 2004, Open Water Cert in Puerto Rico, (September: hurricane Jeanne)
August 2004 dove Barbados - (September: hurricane Ivan)
August 2005, I visited my father in Ft. Lauderdale (September: hurricane Katrina)
August 2005, I took a cruise and went to: Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cozumel (Wilma)
As a point of note, it isn't limited to hurricanes. The day after I visited Venice, St Mark's square flooded and was under 1 meter of water (not that unusual though).
The connection is obvious. Another thing to note is that hurricanes seem to avoid me. Although planned in advance, my 2004 cruise was right between two hurricanes. So, I'm sure we can strike a deal whereby I go along with you on a vacation if it is particularly important!!
