Today marks the 4th anniversary of Hurricane Ivan’s assault on Grenada in 2004. This post is published at 4:00pm, to commemorate the approximate time on that day that our roof was torn off our house.

And now, on this day in 2008, we have Hurricane Ike (Cat 4) wrecking havoc on the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Haiti and Cuba. Thoughts, prayers and wishes for safety go out to all affected. If you can, please donate to The Red Cross or local relief efforts.
Hi there! YingYang here, live and direct from Grenada. I'm a thirtysomething, moderate-liberal, working single mother. I'm a web, TV & pop culture addict, and a passionate Caribbeanista.
The weather seems to remember today too. Nice post.
Ivan was really cruel to you guys and the guys in the caymans. look like ike did similar to turks and caicos this weekend.
Testing..Last couple times I tried to comment it didn’t go through
I remember Ivan was heading straight for SVG and somehow we escaped, You know nuff people went around boasting of how blessed we were etc etc.
