	Hurricane Dennis' Impact on Cuban Agriculture

		With Hurricane Michelle, Cuba's 2001-02 citrus crop was 477,000 MT and the 2002-03 crop was near 800,000 MT. Data are unavailable on the 2003-04 crop.
		Hurricane force winds undoubtedly struck the facility, given the path of the storm, which suggests that the processing plant likely sustained significant damage, as was the case when hurricane Michelle struck the same area of Cuba in 2001.

		The weather men named the mass Flora—sixth hurricane of the 1963 season—and commenced the routine precautions that in recent years have taken some of the bite out of the fierce storms: hurricane-hunter planes to check course, speed, wind velocity, intensity of the rain; detailed advisories and instructions to everyone in the storm's path.
		By the time Flora finished her ten-day rampage through the Caribbean, she went down in history as one of the most devastating storms ever to strike the Western Hemisphere—a killer comparable to the great Galveston storm and tidal wave that swept the Texas coast in September 1900, claiming more than 6,000 lives.
		Savagely, Flora cut a 75-mile gash across Haiti's Tiburon Peninsula, denuding the mountaintops, reducing scores of villages to rubble, and carving great rivers of red clay that stained offshore waters crimson three miles out.
