I dunno how much to believe it. That's an unsourced statement on a weather forum and he didn't provide any support for it, even when asked.
I think it would be big news if the media heard that one person remained on island that was supposed to be completely submerged. So, if it's true, the media doesn't know anything about it.
But how would anyone else know?
The source was apparently a tv news report out of miami. I dunno...
"So, if it's true, the media doesn't know anything about it."
Some do know about it. I heard it reported earlier today.
