Hurricane Damage
 

We are considering going to Grand Cayman in February. We are wondering what damage, if any, the island incurred.

Look at stormcarib.com

Thank-you. Already did. We were looking for something a little more current.

Talked to a couple of friends on island yesterday. Scattered flooding in George Town and along the south coast of the island. No wind damage really.
Big surf battering a couple of waterfront places in George Town (Rackhams and Hammerheads). Debris tossed up on 7 Mile Beach (small coral bits -normal after a storm).
No resort damage that they knew of.

Hi. I'm happy to hear that those on the island attest to a different picture than was whirling around in my head. I had viewed the photos on stormcarib and thought it showed a bigger problem than what others are posting. Maybe this is all to be expected whenever there is a storm.

I'm going in Jan. and while I'm expecting to see remnants from Ivan, I held out hope no further damage would occur.

From Wilma there was some wave damage to a couple of restaurants, but other than that, little damage.

Ironically (considering the blog post by my team last week) I am now in Boston promoting Cayman, and spent the day today in the wind and rain up here making sales calls... trust me, the weather in New England today was nastier than Cayman had last week !

Hey Tom,

I'd believe it! My 3 seater swing, which is free standing (we cover it in bad weather) was sailing around the deck - It terrified the heck out of my dogs and they refused to go outside, I can't say I blame them I was hiding out too, or is that in? :-D

A couple of my neighbors lost trees, not onto their houses thankfully. We only lost a few large branches and since the were dead it's probably a good thing for the trees.

It used to worry me seeing 80ft tall oak trees bending in the wind (and we have a lot of them) now I just appreciate their steadfast nature and beauty.

This business did the same thing for Hurricane Ivan. It has a few pictures along with commentary. Good and bad.
