On the other hand, unlike the rest of the countries, victims of nature's fury, Cuba did not have to regret any loss of human life. In fact, Cuba is the only country of the region struck by the hurricane in which no one lost their life. The France Presse agency pointed out that "they counted [...] only injured and no deaths in Cuba."3 The Associated Press indicated that "although Gustavo killed at least 122 people, including 26 in the United States, Cuba has not reported deaths, thanks to obligatory evacuations." Nonetheless, the hurricane that destroyed part of the island was a category 4 while it had been lowered to a category 2 by the time it arrived at the U.S. coast.
