Yes, I work with her. When I left on Thursday she was still on the island AFAIK. I will be trying to call some of the staff from our shop tonight or tomorrow.
 
Here's a summary that I spent over an hour on this AM to piece together. It covers all three islands (Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, Cayman Brac):

Which states:

Connolly said that while there had been no official death toll, "residents were calling the radio stations to report about deaths."

From other sources, the AP is reporting two unconfirmed deaths.

Warning - RUMOR: ... a very unconfirmed overnight claim that "...someone counted 14 bodies floating around in the flood water around Bodden Town..." Being that this claim came long before dawn, not sure how someone could have ventured out in the storm to see this... let us hope that this is a bad/false report. I did hear a rumor that some people who had lost their shelter who were trying to ride out the storm on a firetruck, so this could merely be a confused report.
(END RUMOR)


Grand Cayman- Apartment(s) at Ocean Club "gone", all of Mariners Cove is gone. Ex-pats won't be allowed back for some time.

The winds reportedly died down on Grand Cayman at around 9:30 this morning ... call it 8:30AM Cayman Time.

A Cayman Airways flight is reportedly expected to the Brac at 2pm today...don't know what its point of origin is, but I assume from Miami - - it certainly isn't going to be from Grand Cayman

Seas are still reportedly rough ... current rumor on Owen Roberts Airport is "4-5 foot waves on the airport runway."
