I've been working in St Lucia since 1989. Since then, 1, Tomas, which landed last November 2010. Folks tell me Tomas was a 30 year storm.

St Lucia is located on a sweet spot latitude wise. Storms coming across St Lucia normally are on St Lucia's latitude when half way across the Atlantic. And so due to the corlios effect (earth's spinning) the storms track North West and thus miss St Lucia. If such movement is blocked by a stationary high over Florida, then the storm track South West until no longer affected by the high, and then track North West. By then St Lucia is behind the storm
