(CNS): No reopening date has been set for the Brac Reef Beach Resort on Cayman Brac, which was partially destroyed by Hurricane Paloma, November 2008. However, resort manager Trudy Viers says she expects construction and repairs to be completed by the end of the year. Because no finishing date has been set, no room bookings are being taken by Brac Reef at this time, she said. The lobby area, offices, boutique and work-out room, which were levelled are being rebuilt and will have the same architectural footprint as the ones before them.
(CNS): The Cayman Islands National Recovery Fund (CINRF) has raised over CI$1 million specifically for the Brac towards the repairs of homes destroyed during Hurricane Paloma and is planning to raise more. They estimate the total costs to be around CI$2.5 million. So far, the CINRF has spent some CI$700,000 on 50 properties, which averages about CI$15,000 per property. Currently the CINRF has received 212 applications on Cayman Brac with about 140 of them being approved.

(NYTimes): Scientists have known for some time that El Niño, the warm spell that turns up every four or five years in the waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean, reduces hurricane activity in the Atlantic. But in a new study, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have linked a variant of that pattern — periodic warming in the central Pacific — to more frequent hurricanes in the Atlantic, particularly on the Gulf Coast and in the Caribbean. Researchers however said they were unable to confirm if this was linked to climate change.
