Yeah, I mean a hurricane is devistating over land but, it has to be much worse underwater. I mean they would probably swim deeper but, they still have to come up for air eventually. You never hear of beached dolphin pods or anything like that showing up on the mainland so they have to do something.

No.

About a metre or two below the surface it's relativley calm. If they come up for air, they might get a bit wet, thats all.

I like how you only care about the dolphins, you insensitive bastard. What about the rest of the fucking ocean? So just because they don't have blowholes, you'd like for hurricanes to rip their helpless bodies into pieces as the 120 mph gusts spew their innards across the sea floor?

You're a cruel, heartless bastard and I hope you choke on dolphin tuna.

I'm calling bullshit, it clearly involves dolphin submarines in some way.

Actually they align themselves so that their blowholes are touching one another and they breathe that way indefinitely, so it's double dolphin ackshun.

Sand Desert! This area hosted many creatures such as the Southern Gray Rays. It has been barren for some time since the Hurricane. We coined this as Stress Migration.

The early sites evaluated revealed almost no activity. In some areas tests showed the Sea Creatures present did not respond to stimulus. Feeding test were performed at various sites.

Tons and tons of Sea Grass along miles and miles of shore line.

While performing a long distant survey swim we re-discovered a wreck which was greatly exposed as a result of the Hurricane. A large ballast pile.

No, it is not a snow ball! This area had at least 3 feet of sand removed, exposing a track of various caliber cannon balls and wreck debris.
