Historically, hurricanes strike the BVI approximately once every 15 years.
Hurricane Hugo struck the BVI in 1989, and it was the first for over 70 years. However, during the 1990s, several hurricanes struck the islands.
The last hurricane strike was in 1999, when hurricanes Jose and Lenny (both category 1) both struck the islands.

When did Denmark takeover the Virgin Islands?
The Islands were bought by the US in 1917. They had been a profitable colony until the mid 19th century, but became a liability after the abolition of slavery and changing sailing routes in the region. Denmark was thus eager to sell and during WWI USA finally wanted to buy to eliminate the risk of Germany taken them over and using them as a submarine base. The price was $ 25 million, and the deal had to pass a public vote in Denmark. It may be interesting to note that even though Denmark was late in freeing the slaves (decided in 1847 to take effect after 12 years, but implemented in 1848 due to a slave rebellion in the West Indies/Virgin Isl.), she was actually the first colonial power to ban the Slave trade. A law was passed in 1792 to have effect in 1802, i.e. before the famous Wilberforce had success with a similar law for the British Empire.
