  • NO ELECTRICITY FOR 5 DAYS THATS NOTHING COMPARED TO PALOMA we had no electricity fo 3 months and our island is way smaller than yours

  • Yes, it's definitely tough to go without electricity. Luckily for us we got off the island after 5 days. But I understand the people who stayed behind were without electricity for months as well. I'm glad I didn't have to go through that. Props to you!

  • raeshine, i think i met you in early '06. it was some dinner party, i was there with my friend tara and our buddy scuba steve when i was visiting the island... you might not remember me. my name was elena. maybe it wasn't you but the couple i met looked so much like you guys! crazy.

  • Don't think it was me. I was only there in '04

  • That was a really tough hurricane. I am a born Caymanian and 100% Caymanian and this was my first hurricane. But that is a good thing in a way because bad storms hit Grand Cayman like once every 20 years or so

  • Yeah, that was a tough one. Did Gustav do a lot of damage? I'm in the US now and was watching the news closely to see how Grand Cayman did during the storm. But the news here didn't really say anything about it.

  • i waz in that hurricane :( what an experience :(((((

  • @dahottie45 yes becouse suffering is a contest i was here and trust me it sucked. everything iv come to know and love be destryed and seing dozens of rotting corpses that were washed out of the graves i didnt give a flying fuck about my electricity i hust wanted my house back.

  • @raeshine77 Gustav was nothign comoared to ivan

  • this story is similar to anyone who was on Grand Cayman. I got great footage too if anyone wants to check it out. Glad you made it out alive :D

  • there are shelters around the island but most of them were on weak grounds and those who had last their homes lives on the western side of the island while other homes were damaged, but repairable

  • the storm lasted for 2 days and the waves lasted for 3 days, and that includes both ts force and hurricane force

  • hey i have one more question—does anyone know about shelters right after the storm? where did those who had lost their homes stay? if anyone has any info, that would be muchly appreciated! :)
