Saint Lucia[^1] vs St. Lucie[^2]:

> The name "St. Lucie" is originally derived from the name of a settlement near Jupiter Inlet, which was founded on St. Lucia's Day in 1566. Due to numerous errors, the name later came to be associated with the present-day town of St. Lucie Village, Florida, north of present-day Port St. Lucie. After La Florida and St. Augustine, it is the oldest still-in-use European place name in the United States.

I came here looking for that information, as I was incredibly surprised to learn of nuclear energy existing in the Caribbean.

It would be a dream to no longer have to rely on fossil fuels, but my native island is at the peak possible cross-section of hurricane, earthquakes, and volcano eruption risks, so I guess we're only missing tsunamis and dry forest fires to complete our bingo for "best place to build nuclear"

You may also find it interesting that South Africa had nuclear weapons:

I can't be the only one to see that location and think "Holy climate change risk, Batman!"

Despite the appearance, is it uniquely prone to flooding or storm surges?
