Hurricane Gustov which is now a Cat 4 hurricane passed over Grand Cayman as a Cat 1, with winds maxing out at about 75mph. There is a great video on http://www.caymannetnews.com/ posted on August 30 by Cayman Net News. Shows waves crashing at George Town harbor.
Very little damage on Grand Cayman. Sounds like Cayman Brac & Little Cayman got hit hard.

Gustav Update
Hurricane Gustav has made a real unusual turn towards Grand Cayman Island. Two days ago it looked like Gustav would go straight to the eastern end of Cuba, but then it backed up, went south and restarted its westerly move.
Forecasters are saying that Grand Cayman should get up to 70 mile an hour winds and tons of rain. I expect that this will do little damage on the island, except for local flooding, which is common in certain areas. There have only been 3 storms in recorded history to hit the island with 100+ mph winds. Maximum winds as of this morning is 65 mph for Gustav.
Looks like Cayman will get 65+ mph wind gusts and a foot of rain.
