Paloma - A Disaster for Cuba

Paloma resulted in many people of Cuba going homeless. It leveled hundreds of houses to the ground after it strikes Cuba intensely this Sunday.

It was only this September that Cuba as massively hit by a bigger storm and left it much damaged. Ike and Gustav left Cuba in severe damages and it didn’t yet started to recover when Paloma hit them.

It is a watch able scenario when waves as high as 3 meters, strike a place and wash away 50 modest houses in a place. The waves were so fierce that the powerful sea surge sent them to almost a mile inland.

Even the trees that were uprooted by Paloma and washed out in the floods turned out to be destructive, after hitting the roofs in Cayman Islands.

About 1.2 million people were evacuated from low lying areas before this massive storm hit them. There are many people who have lost everything in this disaster and many have left with nothing with them.
