Book Description
In 2004, the Cayman Islands faced the most devastating hurricane in recent history. Hurricanes are not a phenomenon to this trio of islands located in the western Caribbean Sea; right in the middle of Hurricane Alley. Unfortunately, everything about Hurricane Ivan - from his enormous size to his slow speed - conspired to wreak near total ruin on everything and everyone in his path. For 36 long and harrowing hours Hurricane Ivan tormented the Islands, dumping rains, gusting winds in excess of 200mph and causing waves to wash over the sea-level land, flooding hundreds of homes and businesses. The only saving graces for the residents of this God-fearing nation were their earnest prayers, low-tides and daylight which allowed almost all of them to escape certain death. While everyone experienced the same hurricane, each person had their own individually horrific encounter with this category five monster of nature. Four of them are recounted here. Chelsea M. Rivers is an imperfectly devoted wife and mother to three beautiful children, Jordan, Branden & Amelia. Born in Texas, she moved to the Cayman Islands as a very young child and never left. Island living has influenced every facet of her life and she is in no hurry to leave - even with the threat of a category five hurricane! Chelsea lives with her family and many animals in the district of West Bay at the north-western tip of Grand Cayman, the largest of the three Cayman Islands.

Book Description
Hurricane Ivan, which devastated Grenada on the 7th of September 2004. People's homes were totally destroyed and their lives had changed in a matter of a few hours. There was no water, little food, no electricity. In a matter of months, Richardo Keens-Douglas created a two-act play with 15 songs, which made its debut in Grenada to an appreciative audience. 'Grenada came out to see Ay Ya Yai Ivan. They laughed, cried and tapped their toes. It helped them to come to terms with the experience and begin the process of healing.' Ay Ya Ya Yai Ivan went on to tour Toronto, New York and London. After every storm the sun shines brighter.

Book Description
Just over a year after the landfall of Hurricane Ivan, scientists have now had an opportunity to evaluate a variety of oceanographic and geologic responses to this storm. Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina, and Rita are among the most powertul hurricanes recently to enter the Gulf of Mexico. Although it weakened from a very powertul category 5 hurricane to a category 3 before making landfall along the Alabama coast, Hurricane Ivan devastated the coasts of northwestern Florida and Alabama on 16 September 2004. This article summarizes what researchers have learned about Hurricane Ivan as it moved into the Gulf of Mexico coast. The article focuses on storm meteorology, sea state, shelf circulation, and sediment transport on the shelf and along the coast.
