Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I thought Hawaii was in the middle of the Atlantic and not the Pacific.

I was just looking on Google maps and I came across an island called Elbow Cay. It had a bit of the street view for some of the areas and I thought it looked a bit shit. Lots of dead trees etc. It was hit by hurricane Dorian in 2019 so I'll let it off. https://maps.app.goo.gl/x34MPeMtg467taSX9 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
