I just talked to a friend that has family in Grenada. The
island was hammered. From the president on down most
residents had property damage. There is little electrical or
water services on the island now. I think everyone in Ivan's
path better prepare for the worst. Its hard to imagine but
Florida looks like it will get another battering. Good luck
McShell and other Floridians, stay save.

I was in Grenada 12 or so years ago. not hard to believe 90%. Those poor people do not have very substantial housing (don't need it most of the time).

Really nice people, and really sad to see a direct hit like that. A setback like this could be devastating.

What ever happened to the prisoners that escaped when the prison was flattened?? Did they round all of them up?
