Re: Another S. Atlantic Hurricane??

I was just browsing for fun and looked in on the Falkland Islands and the British S. Atlantic Territories, of which Tristan De Cunha is one; this is an excerpt from the description of a book about the Island:

"This well-written book, published by Battlebridge Publications, details briefly a concise history of the Island from its discovery in 1506 by the Portuguese navigator, Tristao da Cunha, to its modern day events, including the 21 May 2001 hurricane that devastated the Island. Many black and white photos depict the Tristan of today, its people and life, as well as leisure activities. Newer photos show the damage the 2001 hurricane did to the Island’s infrastructure."


Anybody know anything about THIS "hurricane"???
