they don't mention speeds at all, I don't think. would need to glance over there article again. I have been to Barbados and it was beautiful. Plus they do not get hit by hurricanes directly due to location and how the winds move. Their last hurricane passed by at about 65 miles away. How they determine 65 miles away I assume is from the eye of the storm but I don't know. At any rate, they do not get direct hits, which is a huge plus. I would consider it but the commute to the studio would be much longer ;D
