More news on the Cayman Islands:

The news media have not been covering this at all. The devastation is near
total in many areas, in Georgetown there are reports that 90% of the
buildings have been damaged, Mariner's Cove has been swept from its
foundations, the West Side has been cut off from the rest of the island and
reports are difficult, damage on the North Side is extensive, and the sewer
system has collapsed. There is widespread looting and it looks like it will
take a month or more for power to be restored. Water is being rationed where
it is available at all. There is a widespread need for everything from
construction and rescue crews to blankets to paper napkins. The Westin has
had half its side torn off and the hallways are exposed. The Marriott lost
much of its roof and there are huge holes in the walls.

People describe the hurricane as a nightmare, with winds gusting over 200
mph (one report said 260 mph), and coconuts hurtling through the air like
bullets. There are places where boats are now sitting on top of cars. Even
now there are still 20 foot waves crashing into the seawall.

If Ivan is anything like this when it approaches the Gulf Coast, you should
get as far away as possible. If Ivan hits Brookley the airport will be
destroyed.
