Durante ese tiempo no solo se derroco a Machado, se construyeron centrales, El vecindario del Vedado y hasta el Hotel Nacional, sin ninguna ayuda internacional, Cruz roja y Remesas familiares #10, Hurricane, 1926 Storm Lifecycle On October 14 a tropical storm developed in the southwest Caribbean Sea. It moved northward, becoming a major hurricane on the 20th before crossing Cuba and southeast Florida. It headed northeastward, and strengthened into a Category 4 before hitting Bermuda on October 22. It became extratropical on the 23rd. The hurricanes impact caused severe damage in Cuba and 650 deaths. Tropical Storm Six Duration October 17 – October 19 1927 Intensity 45 mph (70 km/h), Pressure unknown The sixth storm of the season formed in the western Caribbean on October 17 and moved due east, an odd track for Atlantic storms prior to recurvature. It clipped the Cayman Islands and turned northeastward into southeast Cuba with winds no higher than 45 mph (72 km/h). Heavy rains caused some crop damage but little else of consequence. The storm quickly exited Cuba and passed over the Bahamas before dissipating over the western Atlantic. Tropical Storm Seven 1927 Duration October 30 – November 3 1927 Intensity 45 mph (70 km/h), Pressure unknown Little is written about the last storm of the season. According to the Best Track data, it formed near the Cayman Islands in late October, moving up through central Cuba on Halloween night with sustained winds of only 45 mph (72 km/h). It then passed through the Bahamas slight weaker and turned more northward. It became extratropical on November 3. Hurricane Two 1928 Duration August 7 – August 17 1928 Intensity 80 mph (130 km/h), Pressure unknown A 40 mph (65 km/h) tropical storm formed near Barbados late on August 7. Moving west-northwest, the system moved through the Windward Islands on August 8 as a weak tropical storm and then began to slowly intensify shortly thereafter. Continuing to move west-northwest, the strengthening tropical storm intensified to a hurricane late on August 9, and the hurricane reached its peak as an 80 mph (130 km/h) Category 1 hurricane early on August 10. The hurricane later made landfall at its peak intensity in southwest Hispaniola on August 11, and the storm maintained intensity before making a second landfall near Guantanamo Bay later on August 11. The hurricane weakened to a tropical storm shortly after moving inland over Cuba, and the system entered the Straits of Florida late on August 12 as a 50 mph (80 km/h) tropical storm before slowly beginning to reintensify on August 13 as it crossed the Florida Keys near Key West. Moving northwest, the system slowly reintensified to a brief secondary peak of 65 mph (105 km/h) off southwest Florida before slowly weakening on August 14, eventually making landfall near St. George Island as a weak 45 mph (70 km/h) tropical storm. The system soon weakened to a depression late on August 15 after moving inland, and the remnants dissipated on August 17. Hurricane Two 1930 The other storm was the more notable and one of the deadliest storms of the twentieth century, known as the 1930 Dominican Republic Hurricane. A strong Category 4 hurricane, it directly hit Santo Domingo. It unleashed torrential rainfall and severe damage in the city, where as many as 8,000 people died. After making landfall, the storm quickly weakened from a monstrous Category 4 to a minimal tropical storm within 24 hours due to land interaction with the mountains. The tropical storm crossed Cuba and Florida and restrengthened into a Category 2 hurricane before dissipating in the central Atlantic Tropical Storm Eight 1931 Duration October 18 – October 22 1931 Intensity 45 mph (70 km/h), Pressure unknown The eighth storm of the season formed in the western Caribbean on October 18 and took a nearly straight northeasterly track. Little is written of this storm in the Monthly Weather Review report, but according to the Best Track data, it crossed central Cuba the day after formation and trekked over the open Atlantic for the next three days. Wind speeds never exceeded 45 mph (72 km/h) and no damage reports exist. Hurricane Two in 1933 On southern Tobago, the hurricane caused severe damage, amounting to around $3 million (1933 USD, $49 million 2008 USD). 13 people were killed on the island, and another 1,000 were left homeless. In northeastern Venezuela, the hurricane destroyed many houses, businesses, and boats, and strong winds downed power lines; many people were killed in the area.[2] In Cuba, the storm killed 22 people, while damage amounted to $4 million (1933 USD, $66 million 2008 USD).[6] The hurricane caused severe damage and several deaths in northeastern Mexico.[2] In all, the hurricane killed 35 people.[7] Tropical Storm Six 1933 Duration August 12—August 20 Intensity 60 mph (95 km/h) (1-min) The sixth tropical storm of the season was first observed near Barbados on August 12. It quickly passed through the Lesser Antilles and slowly strengthened to reach a maximum strength of 60 mph (95 km/h) on August 15. After passing just south of Jamaica, the storm turned to the northwest and crossed over both the Isle of Youth and western Cuba on August 18. It curved northward, made landfall on the Florida Panhandle, and dissipated on August 20 over southwestern Georgia.[2] Hurricane 11 1933 In the Turks & Caicos islands, the hurricane produced winds of up to 56 mph (90 km/h) and a pressure of 996 mbar (29.40 inHg). The system produced 94 mph (154 km/h) winds and carried a pressure reading of 979 mbar (28.91 inHg) in Havana. Throughout Cuba, the hurricane caused damage of $11 million (1933 USD, $180 million 2008 USD) and killed 70 people.[6] Hurricane 18 1933 In Cuba, people boarded up numerous buildings, and emergency workers assisted authorities in spreading the word about the impending storm; residents in vulnerable areas evacuated to shelters on higher ground. The hurricane's powerful winds destroyed several houses in Camagüey, and heavy rainfall overflowed numerous rivers in low-lying districts.[38] The winds damaged and disrupted telephone and telegraph lines and injured a few people in Havana. Despite government orders for police to kill any looters, large-scale looting occurred in Havana after the storm. Two looters were shot to death, and a third was injured. Two civilians were also wounded by snipers who fired to disperse thieves.[39] Hurricane Nineteen 1933 Category 2 hurricane (SSHS) Duration October 25—November 7 1933 Intensity 105 mph (165 km/h) (1-min) After a two-week period of inactivity, a tropical storm was detected in the western Caribbean Sea on October 25. It moved to the east-northeast then curved to the northwest while slowly intensifying. On October 29, it strengthened into a hurricane near Jamaica and reached peak winds of 105 mph (170 km/h) before striking the western portion of the island. The hurricane turned to the northeast and weakened. It made landfall on southeastern Cuba as a strong tropical storm on October 31. The weakening storm changed its course to the north-northwest, as it drifted through Cuba and the Bahamas
