I am certainly not disputing John's information, but here is what Yahoo News
is reporting "AP) - Hurricane Ivan made a direct hit on Grenada with ferocious winds, causing "incalculable damage" and killing at least nine people as it turned concrete homes into rubble and hurled hundreds of the island's landmark red zinc roofs through the air, officials said Wednesday. The most powerful storm to hit the Caribbean in 14 years reportedly devastated Grenada's capital, St. George's, and damaged homes in Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Vincent. Thousands were without water, electricity and telephone service just days after Hurricane Frances rampaged through." The URL for my source is as follows http://story.news.yahoo.com/fc?cid=3...ricanes_and_Tr opical_Storms -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ "JJ" wrote in message news Report from Trinidad, West Indies, Re GRENADA, W.I. 14:15 hours 2004 Sept 08 The Sources for my reports come from telephone communications between Grenada and Trinidad, and Radio Reports. Hurricane Ivan has left Grenada devastated. Various reports from Grenada have stated that the number of deaths due to Hurricane Ivan now stands at 24. 85% of the island is reported to have been demolished by Ivan. Buildings have been flattened and/or their roofs blown away by the force of Ivan's winds which have been said to have reached strength of approx. 90 mph. Major buildings and Public facilities have been damaged. The Nutmeg plantations which is a major income earner for Grenadians have been flattened. Electricity, Water and Telephone communications are out in the majority of the island. A State of Emergency may be declared. Just about now a Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard vessel with various teams will arrive in Grenada. Trinidad and Tobago NEMA is collecting relief items for both Tobago and Grenada. There are constant requests over the radio stations for Public assistance in providing relief items. Some of the requested items a Plastic sheeting, canvas, tarpaulins, tents, lumber, nails, roofing sheets, bottled water, clothing, diapers, blankets, bed sheets, non-perishable food stuff etc etc. Shed #3 at the Port of Spain, Trinidad Docks is the collection point for donations of relief supplies.
