Heavy rain causes roadway and airport chaos
Heavy rain and flooded roads brought chaos to the airport and parts of George Town on Saturday, 2 Aug., and the weather service warned there was more to come.
Flights were delayed after a deluge hit areas of the town, which caused flooding in and around the airport and traffic backups.
Aircraft circled in the sky above George Town as they waited to touch down and some roads around the terminal were under up to two feet of water.
The Cayman Islands National Weather Service issued a flood warning for parts of George Town and West Bay at about 1:30pm and said showers were expected to continue into the evening and early night. It said: “Approximately 3 inches of rain has fallen across portions of George Town. Another 1 – 2 inches are expected through this evening.”
