Connolly said that the buildings in the Cayman Islands, known internationally for its banking system, had been constructed under strict building codes and it was "indescribable" the manner in which the buildings were blown away. She said that the hurricane shelters that were constructed to withstand winds of more than 200 miles per hour had been badly damaged. "It is unimaginable. We are devastated. The sea went through apartments," the journalist, clearly emotional, said. No question Ivan is a dangerous storm.........some guy said he could see bodies floating in the water. And this is the Caymans...............buildings there are supposed to be much better built than Grenada or Jamaica. And if the eye of Ivan does not hit Cuba and instead, stays in the water between Mexico and Cuba, its strength will not diminish as once expected. Meanwhile, the current track for Ivan shows it heading for the Gulf where 25% of the oil we consume is produced. Not good! ted
