Cuban hurricane prep lessons from early tracking pioneers
Wilson notes possible evacuation orders and mandatory civil defense training for all Cubans. Cuban weather broadcasts are the sole information source before and during hurricanes. Historian recounts Father Benito Vines and Father Lorenzo Gangoite refining tracking methods, predicting Galveston’s 1900 hurricane, which the U.S. Weather Bureau ignored, possibly averting a disaster. Baytown resident Ray Wilson, retired Exxon supervisor, comments on learning from others to save lives and reduce damage.
