Saw this here:

"I just got off the phone with my twin sister who lives in Grand Cayman. She
asked that I report into you with the following information:
* Reported to have 8 - 10 feet rise of water on the island during the
worse part of the storm
* Reported to have 200 mph winds"

Yowza.

That site has some harrowing details of what people went through. Probably would have been a good idea to round up footage pronto and start showing it on the news from Miami to Galveston around the gulf... might make people think about hurricanes a little more seriously than Frances.
