Yes.  I think it was done for a very specific reason:

Miles Straume =3D Maelstrom

maelstrom
1 : a powerful often violent whirlpool sucking in objects within a
given radius

whirlpool
1. A rapidly rotating current of water; a vortex.
2.
a. Turmoil; whirl.
b. A magnetic, impelling force into which one may be pulled.

A rapidly rotating current of water or other liquid that sucks
everything near it toward its center.

vortex
1: something that resembles a whirlpool
2 a: a mass of fluid (as a liquid) with a whirling or circular motion
that tends to form a cavity or vacuum in the center of the circle and
to draw toward this cavity or vacuum bodies subject to its action

I think the island is inside, or at one end, of a maelstrom /
whirlpool / vortex.  It occurred to me during tonight's episode that
rain on the island may be connected with the action of this whirlpool.
