The Cayman Islands was spared the full impact of Hurricane Dean which passed just over 100 miles to the south of Grand Cayman on Monday, however, tropical storm force winds left and waves their mark on all three of the Cayman Islands.
The authorities are still assessing the full extent of the damage caused by the hurricane. Initial reports indicate that the damage is minimal compared to the onslaught on Grand Cayman by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004.

And just think it was headed strait for Cayman! We need to thank God that he put Jamaica (with its bigger land mass, hills and mountains) to absorb the hurricanes out there. Otherwise, Cayman would have been swept off the map a long time ago and wouldn't exist.
Only visit between December and April and you'll be safe from the storm season.
