How can an island with this many people just disappear? Highly unlikely.

Lets thinka obut this- if we're not losing border islands in the US to cat 5's.... Jeanne couldn't have erased an island.

Probably a miscommunication.

Exactly. It just doesn't happen. I don't need "proof".

On the Satellite they draw the lines to show the land. If I remember right. As for this not being true. I will not believe so intill real information gets posted or news tells me other wise. I hope its not true.
