From the latter, the Municipal Council for the Performing Arts reported on that social network the arrival of another artistic brigade to the town of Cocodrilo, the southernmost of that island, hit by the meteor.

The tropical organism caused significant damage, yet to be fully quantified, in agriculture, tobacco houses, the electrical and telephone network, homes, roads and economic infrastructure.
