It does not appear to be terribly serious compared to some disasters in the past. After the 100-year flood that hit western St. John in 1983 (18 inches in 14 hours) Caneel invested in major storm water engineering in the main Caneel Beach area. This is certainly less damaging than that event, during which the hotel remained open.
