Timothy and Phillip got ready for the storm
The storm in the book "The Cay" is called Hurricane Hilda. It is a powerful storm that causes the main characters, Philip and Timothy, to be stranded on an uninhabited island in the Caribbean Sea.
An example of hyperbole in "The Cay" is when Phillip says "I thought I would die" in describing his fear during the storm. This statement is an exaggerated expression meant to emphasize the intensity of his emotions at that moment.
