I found a report on the austpacwx newsgroup - unconfirmed - that "72 year old French hurricane meteorologist Thomas Cavanaugh remained on Wake Is. refusing to leave with the others, and has been gathering data."
What kind of Frenchman is named "Thomas Cavanaugh" for pete's sake?!!! ;-)
I still can't find a confirmed story that anyone was left behind on the island.
I'm looking forward to the reports from the aerial inspection later today. At least I'm assuming it will be today. That is a BIG storm.
