Tropical locales and major storms go hand in hand...
...but this particular one is a little...weird...and inaccurate!
Dr Ivar should sue his medical school!
Tidal waves/tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes (aka seaquakes) which can occur on a perfectly clear day!
They have no connection to hurricanes!
In fact, the approaching storm may not even be a "hurricane".

According to the Red Cross...If it’s above the North Atlantic, central North Pacific or eastern North Pacific oceans (Florida, Caribbean Islands, Texas, Hawaii, etc.), we call it a hurricane.
If it hovers over the Northwest Pacific Ocean (usually East Asia), we call it a typhoon.
If it’s circling over any other region, we continue to call it a tropical cyclone.
While penciler John Tartaglione and inker Dick Giordano did their usual competent job on this never-reprinted tale from Dell's Nurse Linda Lark #6 (1963), the unknown writer seemed to have some problems with both science and the strip's continuity!

If the town of Gorbu is "smashed", isn't the hotel McCutchin and his hosts live in also smashed?
Will they be forced to live in emergency housing for awhile?
Gorbu is supposed to be a "dry", alcohol-free island!
In fact, alcohol is banned by law...as shown HERE!

Where did Dr Ivar get the booze and why wasn't he arrested for possession?
OTOH, I was expecting the clearly non-platonic interest by Tisara Lister in the final panel a little sooner in the strip, but I'm glad it's finally coming out of the background.
Will it lead to anything?
Only time will tell!
