Of course, you're a Jamaican. Did you ever visit Cayman?
The main island is seldom more than about 10 feet above sea level. It is not impossible for it to be completely submerged in a bad hurricane. In 1910, or thereabouts, a hurricane killed 10% of the population.
Not a nice place to be at such a time.

It's good that Ivan has not caused as much mayhem in America as feared.
However, spare a thought for some who were not so lucky.

Thanks for that link; I found it sobering.
I'm still hoping to hear news of my father's best friend, who lives in Grand
Cayman.
Last night I saw some very dramatic photographs of damage in Kingston, Jamaica.
Can't wait for this hurricane season to be OVER.
