Even a small hurricane or a tropical storm can have some pretty devestating effects. A thatch roof, a wooden home, or a dirt road/yard can look pretty bad after a strong wind and lots of rain. People can get cut off from the rest of the world and end up sleeping on wet floors with no electricity, short on food, water and help. And for someone about to make a living in the tourist industry you should realize every hurricane threat, real or perceived translates into people canceling trips and/or making plans to go elsewhere with their vacation money.
A hurricane is not an adventure, it's a threat to life property and business down here. We hope you never get to experience one.
