Storm Avoidance - Crew calling the DPA

What is the latest with the Sunshine State?

@New3M

Apparently they tried to pull an El Faro and sailed right through the middle of the eye of Hurricane Ian.

News on the Sunshine State?

They sailed into the eye, did a bunch of damage, didn’t take storm ballast, didn’t fill after peak, crew practically mutineed at the next port, Captain relieved. Career over? Lifeboat smashed One guy on board had a brother on El Faro Green water up to manifold on a light tanker It was really really bad, I heard.

Question is; why didn’t a crewmember call the DPA? Or if someone did call the DPA why did the vessel sail through the eye?
