Hurricane Ivan

An Alert has been issued for the Cayman Islands.

This link is the NOAA's projected track for Ivan as of 5am this morning. (Note that we are the speck that is northwest of Jamaica.) Here is a useful article with some links.

Ivan's most recent victim was Grenada, where three people died and the Prime Minister's home was demolished, among other things. This is what a recent AP article has to say about it:

Hurricane Ivan made a direct hit on Grenada, killing at least three people as it turned concrete homes into piles of rubble and hurled the island's landmark red zinc roofs through the air.

The most powerful storm to hit the Caribbean in 10 years also damaged homes in Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Vincent, just days after Hurricane Frances rampaged through and went on to cause massive damage in Florida.

Ivan strengthened even as it was over Grenada on Tuesday, becoming a Category 4 storm and getting even more powerful as it headed across the Caribbean Sea on a projected route to bear down on Jamaica late Thursday.
