Grenada - Local Reports (Caribbean Hurricane Network)

StormCarib - not to excite or scare anyone about our friend Kelly (and James is in Trinidad as well - very close to Grenada), but this is a site that is giving information about the devastation right now. It sounds very bad for the island of Grenada, especially St George (capitol city where Kelly is), but there have only been 3 reported deaths.

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.

Again - this is not to scare people, just to let them know that this area is in need of immediate help and assistance.

Of course all our thoughts and prayers are with our friends, the communities they are with, and their families right now.
