Hurricanes

The hurricane season is still a few months away thankfully, but recently I came across an old page from stormcarib (a hurricane website). The page was from the 2004 hurricane season - the year that Ivan devastated the Cayman Islands.

It's a log of various people emailing in before, during and after Ivan. It turns quickly from optimism to fear and concern as details of the path of Ivan become clear. See a few select screenshots (click to expand):

It's a very powerful read, extremely emotional and really helps to paint a picture of what it's actually like to experience a hurricane.
There are huge gaps in the email logs where the power is down, and other people off island chip in to update.

Anyhow, I encourage visitors to this site to take a look - it was really quite humbling. Click here to read it (read from the bottom up)
