"Hi,

I have been in cellular contact with close friends in Grenada since last
night and they have said that the destruction is tantamount to Hiroshima.
There is not a tree standing. My friend witnessed homes being submerged and
thousands of trees and galvanize roofs flying through the air. The island is
devastated and I am not sure if everyone is aware of the severity due to
networks, electricity and phone lines being out of service. Grenada needs
relief workers and Aid as soon as possible.

It's much much worse than the major media articles indicated, due to lack of communication.

Direct hit wasn't it? What was Crazy Ivan a Cat 4 at landfall in Grenada?

The storm killed at least three people and devastated the capital, St George's, destroying the island's emergency operations center and the home of Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell, the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency said. A helicopter took off from a nearby British Navy ship and flew over the island on Wednesday to assess damage and to find out if the airport was usable, said Donovan Gentles, CDERA's Preparedness and Response manager.

The island had suffered "total devastation,"

Gentles said.

I heard a representative of the Grenada govt. on the radio this morning. She said that over 90% of the country had sustained MAJOR damamge and that many had been killed.
