Is that definitely accurate?

Nevertheless, the following hit the island in the last 20 years of their study:
1 category 4
2 category 2
2 category 1
2 Tropical Storms

Storms that came within 50 miles of the island during the same 20 years:
1 category 3
3 category 1
4 Tropical Storms
4 Tropical Depressions

I got off my a$$ and googled vibracore and found this tutorial from the USGS. I have not looked through it all, but it looks like a nice overview of how soft sediments are sampled. In general, I would look at the top portion of the core with much skepticism due to the interaction of the core catcher and the top soft and loose muck. Here is the link (I hope).
