Since [[1495]], the [[island]]s of the [[Caribbean]] have experienced ample [[hurricane]] activity; either being directly hit or significantly brushed.

==List of Caribbean hurricanes==
The following is a '''history of hurricane activity in the Caribbean''':

*[[1495]] - [[Christopher Columbus]] encounters a hurricane near [[Hispaniola]]. He reported that “Nothing but the service of [[God]] or the [[Monarchy]]” would he permit himself exposure to such a storm again.

*[[2004]] - [[Hurricane Jeanne]] formed near the Leeward Islands and passed over near St. Croix.  It crossed Puerto Rico as a very strong tropical storm and reached hurricane strength just before making landfall over the [[Dominican Republic]] as a Category One.  It proceeded to move over [[Haiti]] causing mudslides that left 3,000 dead.
