Hurricane!

This blogger gives a recent account of Hurrican Ivan recovery on the Grand Cayman Island.

Grand Cayman was hit hard last fall by Hurricane Ivan. Evidence of the hurricane's destructive force is everywhere. Many of the trees on the island were knocked down, and those still standing lean to the west. Many hotels and businesses are still closed, and some roads remain closed for repair. Turtle Reef used to be home to a large school of tarpon that would hang out in an underwater grotto and part like a curtain when you swam through them. Alas, the tarpon left with the hurricane, but Turtle Reef still has more than its share of Parrotfish and other colorful Caribbean denizens. Today we saw a barracuda and a stingray.
