Hurricane Sandy is stirring stuff up around Grand Cayman!! There's definitely a storm system out there as we've been having a lot of rain. The winds have picked up some, too. I'm sure as the Hurricane moves across the waters and gets some closer we'll have more bad weather. I read on the news yesterday that today sometime the waves on the Sea here are supposed to be up to at least 9 feet!! I want to see that!! Yesterday afternoon we were in George Town and the water wasn't really that rough. When we got back closer to our house the Sea was as calm as could be!! But it won't be much longer, I guess. Thankfully we aren't supposed to get hit by Hurricane Sandy. I feel bad for the people in Jamaica who did have damage to their homes, etc. And this morning I read one person lost their life as a large boulder fell on them!
And then I read this on the news last night and was pretty shocked!!
"There have been no reports of anyone feeling the short quake which occurred in the Cayman region this lunch time. However, at a depth of more than 20 miles under the ocean and more than one hundred miles away it comes as no surprise. A spokesperson for Hazard Management confirmed that the 5.4 magnitude quake which happened at 12.56 pm on Wednesday some 101 miles SSW of George Town was one of many small tremors that can occur in the ocean around Cayman. “There have been no reports that the tremor was felt by a single local resident and there was no tsunami threat at any time,” he said."
WOW!! That's too close!!
