Have a friend who is a carpenter in Cayman Islands. He just flew out of St. Lucia on the last day of his honeymoon, the same day it hit there. He said there was so much flooding, that if the same thing happens to Cayman, it will destroy the country.
He's basically boarding up the multi-million dollar house he's working on, moving over to his wife's aunts house, boarding that up, then they've bought two tickets to Miami (at $800/ea -- one way) and flying out tomorrow.
Said chances are that if it stays on course, and that the weather conditions are perfect for a terrible storm, his time in the Cayman Islands is finished, as there won't be much left to return to.
Pretty scary stuff. Lots of people there that can't just fly out. Jamaica is going to get roughed up pretty good too.
