The country of Cuba has ordered the evacuations of 50,000 people in Western Cuba. The majority of the evacuated people will stay at friends' and families' houses with about 6000 of the 50,000 people going into shelters. Fears that the hurricane will become a Cat 2 before reaching the island as it has been on a strengthening trend and that is why the citizens of Western Cuba have been evacuated from the coastline.
