I have been in a hurricane in SXM. It is no fun. If it knocks out the power it can take several days to get the power back. This means restaurants and markets are closed, gas stations can't pump gas, the villa I stayed at didn't have water because no electricity to run the water pump, no AC, no television or radio to see weather reports ( like , is the storm over? is the storm coming back?). It took 4 days to get rebooked on a plane to leave ( since it came on the morning we were leaving).
