9:30 p.m.Now the focus of our prayers turns from Jamaica to the Cayman Islands. We have a friend who is from Cayman Brac,
and her family still lives there. She says that when the hurricanes
come, “you pray a lot and have lots of food and clean water and put up
the shutters.” Some of the families have personal caves in the mountain
to retreat to if necessary, which gives them an advantage in personal
safety over Floridians, who don’t even have basements. But water and
wind are always a huge worry, especially with a monster as powerful as
Ivan.
We tried to break out of hurricane mode and do something normal tonight, travelling to the Orlando Science Center to take in a movie about Mt. Everest. But a power surge had taken out some of the equipment, which—for reasons best known to the engineers—made it impossible to run both the movie and the air conditioner. The air conditioner won, so we went home.
