...Earlier, (click here) business magnet Richard Branson revealed he has decided to remain on his private island in the British Virgin Islands during the storm.
The billionaire says he's survived two hurricanes on the island thanks to his specialised 'hurricane proof' buildings - but says "nothing can withstand" a Category 5 storm.
Branson wrote on his blog: "Generally speaking, we have one hurricane in the British Virgin Islands around every 10 years.
"Fortunately, most of them drift north of us, but this one is coming straight for us, with the eye of the storm heading straight for Necker, Moskito Island and Virgin Gorda....
How deep is the ocean there?

...The powerful storm (click here) heading towards Florida is so strong that it’s been picked up by machines built to detect earthquakes.
The Category 5 hurricane is reportedly generating winds powerful enough to disturb the earth at depths usually caused by seismic events. Irma reached the maximum storm level on Sept. 5 with winds surpassing 180 mph....
This is the depth of the Caribbean Sea. The continental shelf on the Atlantic side of the island is necessary to understand the effect of the central pressure depth.
This sea (click here) covers an area of approximately 2,754,000 km2 (1,063,000 square miles). The deepest site in this sea is the Cayman Trench between Cuba and Jamaica at 7500 m below the surface, although average depth is 2200 m (Spalding et al. 2001)
The depth of the continental shelf in that region is most probably found on "ship wreck" location for divers. NOAA will have records as well. USGS will have some very unique surveys of the ocean basin in that region.
...The Puerto Rico Trench (click here) contains the greatest measured depth in the Atlantic Ocean,...
...deep level within the earth. The generally accepted explanation of these diverse but apparently related phenomena is that a great linear fold of the earth's crust has buckled downward into the heavy subcrustal material. The resulting deep furrow in the ocean bottom roughly represents the upper surface of the downfold. The central belt of low gravity is explained by the mass deficiency of the downfold of light crustal material. The development of fractures associated with the bending of the crust accounts for the observed volcanism and earthquakes. The fractures have been...
A study of these dynamics should be conducted. There is a major fault in the region with fractures as well. The depth of which the central pressure is reaching should be known. It is probably disrupting Earth's crust.
