With its year round pleasant climate, Aruba is basically disaster free. Aruba is on the southern fringes of the traditional Atlantic/Caribbean hurricane belt. So the island generally isn't affected by the hurricane season. But sometimes Aruba has experienced high winds and abnormal rainfall from nearby hurricanes. Such was the case in the 1996 hurricane season with the August to September rampages by Hurricane Edouard and Hurricane Fran.
Also Aruba is close enough to Venezuela to feel the after shocks of earthquakes in that country. Such was the case recently at 4:15 a.m. on January 13, 2010.

CoachNo, Aruba doesn't get hurricanes. It's on the southern fringes of the traditional Atlantic Caribbean hurricane belt. So islanders usually don't have to worry about hurricanes or fierce tropical storms. But in September 2007 Aruba experienced heavy rains from the occurrence of Hurricane Felix elsewhere in the Caribbean.
