Melanie,
As someone who was on Culebra when Torpical Storm Jeanne hit in September I have to say that it really was not a big deal but more of an inconvenience. All transportation was shut down to and from the island for about 3 days because the torential rain just kept on coming but we never felt in danger for our lives or anything to that effect.
Prior to our trip we kept a constant watch on the National Hurricane Center's website http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ which was very helpful, but if you do not have travel insurance for your plane tickets unless a hurrricane is imminent it could cost you a hefty some to change or cancel your flights.
As I said previously though that the whole experience was more of a incovenience than anything as we had planned on taking the ferry over to Viesques the day before the storm hit and all the ferry's were shut down so we were stuck on Culebra for three days.
Hope that helps,
Charlotte
