Saturday 8 November, 2008, will long live in the memory of Sister Islands residents following the passage of Hurricane Paloma.
Perhaps it will be remembered as the 1932 storm, which devastated the Cayman Islands.
Saturday was the 76th anniversary of one of the most horrible storms ever to hit Cayman.
What is dubbed the 1932 Cuba hurricane struck Cayman on 8 November, 1932, after forming as a tropical storm near Guadalupe on 30 October.
Early on 9 November, 1932, the storm passed Cayman Brac with winds of up to 155 miles per hour. The Category 4 storm than swept north–east into Cuba.
More than 3,100 people died in the Caribbean in that 1932 storm making it one of the deadliest hurricanes in history, and one of the strongest late–season storms ever recorded.
Paloma did not quite reach the force seen in the 1932 storm. Its maximum sustained winds were measured at 140mph when it struck the Sister Islands.
