Best of Mike #136

We were in the Caymans right after Hurricane Ivan.... in 2004.

There was a lot of damage at the surface.... I remember seeing miles and miles of Palm Trees all completely stripped of any and all fronds.

Just sticks now.... really tall sticks.

One evening the crew of the Caymans Aggressor, all of whom lived on the island, were telling us stories of the storm.

Apparently, there were a few minutes, when there was so much water on the island, with the rain and the storm surge.... that it completely disappeared from radar.

Below the surface there didn't seem to be a lot of damage.

There was sand on top of the coral.... and pretty much everything else. But other than that, I don't remember too much being broken.

This scene, seems to be indicative of that.... things a little topsy turvy and thrown where they didn't really belong.
