'Weakened' hurricane still leaves trail of destruction

Hurricane Ivan lost its catastrophic capabilities as it skirted Grand Cayman today, but it still uprooted trees, burst the banks of canals and flooded some homes with winds near 155mph.

The hurricane had grown to a rare top-Category 5 storm with 165 mph winds on Saturday but it lost some strength today as it approached the Cayman Islands, which appeared likely to escape its full force.
