<P> In September 2004 , The Cayman Islands were hit by Hurricane Ivan , causing mass devastation , loss of human and animal life ( both wild and domestic / livestock ) and flooding , with some accounts reporting that the majority of Grand Cayman had been underwater and with the lower floors of buildings being completely flooded in excess of 8 ft . An Ivan Flood Map is available from the Lands & Survey Dept. of The Cayman Islands indicating afflicted areas and their corresponding flood levels . This natural disaster also led to the bankruptcy of a heavily invested insurance company called Doyle . The company had re-leased estimates covering 20 % damage to be re-insured at minimal fees when in fact the damage was over 65 % and every claim was in the millions . The company simply could not keep paying out and the adjusters could not help lower the payments due to the high building code the Islands adhere to . </P>
