We were all worried about the impact of a Category 4 hurricane at Finca Vigía. While much of the northeastern coast of Cuba suffered the severe effects of the storm, we learned that Hemingway’s house and collection did well. We were told that some trees were down on the property, but that the staff was very pleased that the house stood strong and there was no damage to documents or the contents of the house.
