Hurricane Ivan Remembered
Hurricane Ivan passed over Grand Cayman on September 11th & 12th, 2004, battering the island with strong winds, inducing island wide flooding from storm surge and causing massive devastation. 10 foot waves were reported in our usually calm North Sound and waves up to 30 feet waves bashed the shorelines. While it came in over night on Saturday, the Catagory 5 hurricane made its closest approach at 10 am on Sunday when the eye passed 21 miles SW of the Grand Cayman with winds of 150 mph and gusts of 220 mph.
