TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums US VI and Puerto Rico USVI in October - safe or hurricane season?

Hurricane Luis in 1995 did tear up St Martin but spared St Thomas -- however his sister Marilyn came the next week and did terrible damage in the Virgin Is.
The later in Oct. the better since the peak of hurricane activity is in mid - Sept and decreases steeply after that - trip insurance is an excellent peace of mind hedge.
