Man, that's awful. And the worst could be yet to come as Dennis appears hell-bent on heading to Havana.

History shows that just because a storm kills many in Latin America, that doesn't mean its name gets retired.

I hope politics on both sides are thrown out the window and massive aid is sent to Cuba.

Castro usually angrily refuses any aid from the U.S.

It's sad to hear of people losing their life to these storms. I hope the number does not go any higher.

From Reuters:
Cuban President Fidel Castro said Dennis had already killed 10 people as its outer bands brushed over Cuba's southeastern corner Thursday night. Storm fatalities are rare in Communist Cuba where the authorities can muster all state resources to evacuate hundreds of thousands from the path of hurricanes.

Most of the victims died in collapsed houses in two coastal towns in Granma province, Castro said on state television. An 18-day-old baby was among those who died, he said, calling the hurricane a "diabolical force."
