    Cayman Air adds 15 flights to FL as the Caymans brace for Dean!

    The Caymans are expecting a direct hit from Cat 5 Hurricane Dean with 160 mph sustained winds on Monday. Cayman Airways added 15 flights to Florida for people wishing to leave the Caymans and all seats were sold quickly.

    Farther west, the low-lying Cayman Islands were expected to take a direct hit on Monday. Tourists there jammed Owens International Airport in snaking lines that stretched outside onto a lawn. A police officer with a bullhorn kept order.

    Cayman Airways added 15 flights to Florida from the wealthy British territory, and they quickly sold out.

    The government ordered a mandatory evacuation by noon Sunday of Little Cayman, which is the smallest of the territory's three islands and has a population of about 150.
