"Catastrophic Destruction" at Grand Cayman Hyatt

Has anyone heard much about the Hyatt property on Grand Cayman Island ...and how it did during/after Hurricane Ivan's wrath?

Newspapers including USA Today described damage there, including to the Hyatt, as being "catastrophic" ...but the Hyatt website only lists "water damage" to the property ...and that it won't re-open 'till December.

The only picture I could find on the 'net was this one:

...which shows the hull of a large 150-passenger catamaran normally docked at the Hyatt on-top of numerous smashed cars in what's left of their parking lot.

The only other news I could find online says that the first floor of the resort was completely submerged by the storm surge.
