showed the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Ivan just south of Grand Cayman
Island at 9 a.m. this morning.
The following information on weather conditions on the islands was
culled from
WeatherMatrix Member Roger Corbin's Cayman Islands Weather Page:
http://www.weatherincayman.com/
1. South Sound, Roger's station
<http://www.weatherincayman.com/currcndx.htm> reported an 88 mph gust
this morning at 7:40 before all gauges fell to 0, indicating that the
equipment is probably damaged or gone. They also reported 72" of rain
with rates up to 96" per hour, probably an exaggeration due to wind
rocking the gauge. The barometer has fallen from 1007 yesterday at
10am to 972 (28.70") before the station stopped reporting. Historical
graphs are available at

2. Savannah <http://www.weatherincayman.com/zf1ej/wx.htm> reported a
gust of 79 mph at 4:16 a.m. before the transmissions stopped. They
reported a barometer fall from 998 at midnight to 984 at 4 a.m.

had a sustained wind of 35 mph at 9 p.m. last night with gusts to 51
