Emily Hearn in Grenada when Hurricane Ivan came trough
Eastern Kentucky Native in Grenada
A Peace Corps volunteer from Kentucky was in Grenada when Hurricane Ivan came trough.
Emily Hearn is from Morehead. She has been in Grenada for seven months. Her mother Jane says Emily was in a concrete house durring the storm with several other volunteers. She says her daughter told her it was very scary during the storm. After the storm when they went out to look at the damage, many of the homes were destroyed. Most were missing exterior walls.
Jane heard from Emily late Thursday night. She says they are gathering fruit and supplies to take to a nearby village that has run out of supplies.
Right now Emily says there is no electricity or running water on the entire island.
Jane says she doesn't know how long Emily will be in Grenada.
