254. Your ignorance about hurricanes is astonishing!
Most people are killed by flooding caused by heavy rains than they are by storm surge and wind of hurricanes. Americans saw that happen during Katrina, and the people of Central America saw that during Mitch.
The only straw "houses" I saw in Cuba were in Pinar del Rio. These are the tobacco houses made of wood with roofs made of palm tree leaves. No one lives in them! They are used to store the harvested tobacco leaves and to allow them to cure.
You should travel to Cuba, and stop by the tobacco growing parts of Pinar del Rio. The red soil will remind you of Georgia.
