Abstract:
Meteorologist Marvin Hunter presents an argument that supposes the Lost Colony was eradicated by a hurricane-induced storm surge and not by Indians. When he returned to the colony in 1588, Governor John White assumed the colonists had moved to Croatan because of the infamous tree carving. However, bad weather prevented Governor White and his crew from going to Croatoan. Because White was so detailed in all of his descriptions, Hunter argues that White does not mention house remnants because they simply were not there. Further evidence of a hurricane is the inclement weather met by White and his crew.
