Hurricane Rafael made landfall in Cuba on Wednesday as a category three hurricane with winds of up to 185 kilometers per hour. According to the US Hurricane Center, Rafael swept over the island in two and a half hours and slowly lost strength on its way to the Gulf of Mexico.  There were no human casualties, but significant material damage was caused, including to the power grid.
