All staffers are safe after spending Sunday in a specially-built shelter, specifically designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. Dorian is a Category 5 storm with 185 mile-per-hour winds that devastated the northwest Bahama islands.
Disney noted that Castaway Cay is located 45 miles south of the most significant portion of the storm. Still, the company came under fire after the sister of one of the employees tweeted out her concerns.
Apparently Dorian is sitting on CastatCay
What a pounding it and the Bahama are taking
I pray that the thing dissipates like that one tornado in Twister

Dang cell phone
Does anyone else think this sounds kind of fun? [ducking]
I've been in and around several tropical storms, blizzards, floods, earthquakes, tornado, a hurricane, and even a volcanic eruption.
Riding out a hurricane in a special shelter? Hmmmm....
