Date of Hurricane: Saturday, November 8, 2008
Paloma delivers devastating blow to Cayman Brac

With sustained winds of up to 140mph and gusts estimated at over 160mph, Paloma devastated Cayman Brac. Around 80 per cent of the homes have been seriously damaged, and a fifth have been totally destroyed by the hurricane. CLICK FOR PHOTOS

By most accounts, Hurricane Paloma is the worst storm to hit the Brac since the 1932 storm which took life and property.

In these times, the best comes out in people. A massive humanitarian relief effort is now under way. Churches, government, and relief agencies are in high gear clearing the damage and restoring essential services to Cayman Brac’s 1,800 residents. It is heartening to see the people here working together with their neighbours to get their life back together. It really showcases the enduring beauty of the human spirit.

We give thanks to God that there was no loss of life, and we ask that you pray for all of us during the massive rebuilding process.
