Comments: During its passage through Cuba, Sandy left significant damages behind, particularly in the city of Santiago de Cuba which is not usually in the direct path of Caribbean hurricanes, and the city sustained the strongest winds as it was exposed to the eastern and stronger side of the hurricane. In addition to the strong winds, the coast was also affected by storm surges. In Siboney, some 14 kilometres from Santiago city, the waves were some 10 metres above the coastal barrier, with the ocean reaching some 35 metres inland.
