Re: Hurricane Paloma Over Cuba

Amazes me how it hit the same area a November hurricane hit in 1932 that was said to be a Cat 4 .. people remember it in Cuba as it caused an infamous "tidal wave" that over 2,000 people were killed.. was legendary.

Same time...

A woman at my old job once asked me to research that storm for her as she had distant family members who had died in it. Amazed me how little we hear about such storms in Cuba.. horrible storm.

And, I am wondering how fast that front is moving because it seems to be running late.
