The current weather on the ABC islands is something you’d typically find in September: high humidity and no wind, ingredients that usually lead to “Warwarus” (Small tornadoes, large dust devils or landspouts) or “Hos” (Tornadoes). Knowing this, a large part of the islands were expecting this and in fact it did on Aruba. At around 11:45 AM the meteorological service of Curacao issued a tornado watch, indicating that the conditions were right for a possible tornado.

Hurricane Tomas 2010
Although Tomas did not directly strike the ABC islands, the storm produced intermittent rainfall over the islands, triggering localized flooding during the night of November 1 to November 2. In total, at least 10.4 in (265 mm) of precipitation ....
In Curaçao, a rescue worker helping with the evacuation of a local hospital was crushed to death by a collapsed wall. Furthermore, an elderly man drowned after suffering a fatal heart attack while unable to exit his car

Hurricane Omar Curacao 14 Oct 2008 (Tropical Storm??)
I am having a quiet month researching this stuff to know what to do this hurricane season. But I am finding that whenever anyone says: 'No hurricanes go there' they are invariably wrong!
Good sailing and have fun there.
