 A tropical storm
formed on October 30 in the Atlantic Ocean east of the Virgin Islands.
It was upgraded to hurricane strength on November 1 as it headed
southwest into the Caribbean Sea. It was upgraded to Category 2 status
on November 3 with winds of 100 mph (160 km/h). The storm strengthened into a major hurricane on November 5, and later peaked as an intense Category 4 hurricane on November 9 in the western Caribbean Sea. The storm later struck central Cuba shortly thereafter at its peak of 135 mph (215 km/h) on the same day, weakening to a Category 3 hurricane after crossing the island. The storm continued to slowly weaken as it moved through the Bahamas the following day. The storm caused severe damage and a total of 3,033 death in Cuba. |
