if a cat 1 hurricane hit guadeloupe, what would the evacuation orders be? a death toll and possible injury amount? and what would be the damage $$?

you'd be lucky to get a hurricane warning even 6 hours in advance as France does not provide much leadtime (in Marilyn, they issued the warning only after sustained hurricane force winds were recorded on the island.

Damage would be minimal, as is expected

i knew it was part of france, but you would think basse-terre would send out their own evacuations

Guadeloupe is just as much a aprt of France as Hawaii is of the USA

And they only get about 6 hours notice for a hurricane warning. Standard French procedure

Didn't David in 1979 hit Guadeloupe as a category 4?
