Lynn, we watched a news program just a couple weeks back that covered this 
story, the subject matter dealt with global warming and planet change.  
Apparently, they have been relocating island residents from Tortuga to New 
Zealand over the last several years in anticipation of an event that would 
ultimately destroy their island home and country.  They showed the island in 
the story, at high tide parts of it (prior to the hurricane) were covered 
with water segmenting the island into pieces only accessible by boat.  I 
don't know if Hurricane Jeanne destroyed the island or not, but it seems 
likely.
