Nope.

However, it IS odd that the island is half French
and half Dutch but the warning signs are in .... English.

The Dutch half of the island only uses the Dutch language in official
matters. Most of the population only speak English. Besides: it is only a
matter of being a good host. Would any US tourist understand a sign that
says:

"GEVAAR
Straalwinden veroorzaakt door vertrekkende en aankomende vliegtuigen
kunnen zwaar lichamelijk letsel veroorzaken, resulterend in extreem
blijvend letsel en/of de dood."
