Irma was a category 5 Hurricane from the time it hit Cuba and for 72 hours it spent its force on Cuba, being reduced to a Category 3 when it hit Florida. As members of Congress including Rep Kathy Castor from Tampa, FL and our own Rep. Gwen Moore, wrote, "Cuba absorbed much of the impact from Hurricane Irma which lessened the damage to southern Florida and the United States." Their letter asks Pres. Trump to use his power to lift restrictions and thus to allow U.S. companies to sell re-construction materials to Cubans.

Cuba is the only area affected by the recent hurricanes which is subject to U.S. economic sanctions (as it has been for over 50 years). It is also the only nation in the area which has sent over 700 doctors and medical personnel to aid people in other Caribbean islands devastated by hurricane. See Irma: Cuba sends hundreds of doctors to Caribbean islands devastated by hurricane, Sept. 9, 2017, The Independent (UK).
