In November 2008, the 71st anniversary of the great Storm of 1932 was noted to nearly the same exact day with Hurricane Palmoa hitting the island as a Category 4 storm.
With modern technology, there's photos online that document the damage this time. Here's three such slide shows:

Amongst others, the Rotary Clubs of Grand Cayman is accepting donations to help those in need. Their website is:

We also understand that Robert Walton is working to help conserve the endangered Cayman Brac Parrot, as its habitat and food sources have obviously also been severely impacted by this storm.
