I hope this is acceptable to put here, it's a report off another board...but with the good hearts here, thought it worthy to pass along.

Hi,

I was speaking to my parents who have been talking to my uncle, Keith Milner, in Grenada. I was asked to send an email to you with the following message.

Grenada is trashed, and they need all the help they can get, they are currently in the eye of hurricane Ivan at the moment and do not know how long the phone lines etc will stay active.

"Hurricane Ivan blew off roofs and tore down trees Tuesday in Barbados as it churned toward Tobago and Grenada, where hundreds sought shelter just days after Frances swept through the Caribbean."

...Frances was no where near there.

It was the Carribean Hurricane Network....

You're not going to get major media reports from Grenada for a long time, possibly not till tomorrow moring...commo down, major networks and newspapers obviously don't keep someone there and I'm sure none sent anyone there before landfall.

If the storm's track continues, it could hit the island of Hispaniola, where floods in May killed more than 3,000 people on the Haitian-Dominican border.

</i><P> :roll: Huh? The storm is tracking west. Did somebody move Hispaniola when I wasn't looking?
