<B> Explanation: </B>
Ninety percent of the houses on 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenada">Grenada</A> were 
damaged by the destructive force of 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ivan">Hurricane Ivan</A>. 
At its peak, 
<A href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/2004ivan.shtml">Ivan</A> was a 
<A href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshs.shtml">Category 5 hurricane</A>, 
the highest power category on the 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir-Simpson">Saffir-Simpson Scale</A>, 
and created sustained 
<A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxFOm8BC4GE">winds</A> 
in excess of 200 kilometers per hour. 
Ivan was the largest 
<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040903.html">hurricane to strike the US</A> in 2004, and, 
so far, the 10th most powerful in recorded history.  
As it swirled in the 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean">Atlantic Ocean</A>, 
the tremendous 
<A href="http://www.ohsep.louisiana.gov/factsheets/FactsAboutHurricaneEye.htm">eye</A> of Hurricane Ivan was 
<A href="http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-9/html/iss009e22187.html">photographed from above</A> by the orbiting 
<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021208.html">International Space Station</A>.
The name Ivan has now been retired from Atlantic Ocean use by the 
<A href="http://www.wmo.ch/">World Meteorological Organization</A>.
