But early Wednesday there is no footage of the destruction as yet. No one from inside Grenada has posted anything to the Spiceislander Talkshop as yet. Seems like a complete shut out. Efforts to call Grenada by phone get the same frustrating reply all the time ....

Ivan the Terrible, as he is being dubbed by some after the Russian Czar, has not changed course and he's getting closer to the Spice Isle. From Barbados to Trinidad is on Hurricane Alert. Things are definitely looking bad.

I'm in New York City for the Labour Day Celebrations in the midst of the Hurricane Season and Ivan has been churning up in the Atlantic. We've just experienced Charley and Frances in the Southern USA and it seems like a busy Hurricane Season.
