it's a bigger country than you might imagine, and the road to santiago de cuba, the country's second st cubans lived pre-revolution. ♪ >> anthony: santiago is a poorer city, it's blacker, and unlike havana, the symbols and faces of the revolution still seem to mean something. these brutalist pre-fab worker's housing complexes are everywhere here. and at first glance, hell, at second glance, they look like something you'd house animals in. but for many, previously living even poorer, harsher lives in the countryside these offered something new. each group of buildings came with a doctor, a school. still they look about as grim as grim can be. yet, santiago is anything but grim. siboney beach is where locals go on the weekend to kick back with family, drink the best rum in cuba, which means the best rum anywhere, swim hang with family and friends. hola, gentlemen. we'll be needing some vasos. reymel is our local fixer. ruben is in the bar business. sergio rents rooms to the occasional tourist. everybody getting by, making the adjustment to private enterprise cuba in their own way. until

cnn's patrick ottman is in santiago de cuba. what are you seeing? what happened overnight?reporter: good morning. we have light rains coming this morning but people by and large are breathing a big sigh of relief because the storm didn't go where officials feared it would. here, in the island's second largest city, it would have created horrible damage here had it come here but it ended up tracking further to the north just cutting across the easternmost point of cuba and there, it did cause substantial damage. towns lost dozens of homes, people said the storm surge swept homes out to sea. here's the amazing thing. so far, no fatalities were reported. why is that? because the cuban government over the weekend made a mass push to get people to evacuate. some 180,000 people are estimated to have evacuated, going to shelters. they saved lives so the lesson from here is it was better to be safe than sorry. a lot of people are grateful that they did evacuate when they were told to do so. >> smart to listen. thanks so much. want to go to florida now and cnn's boris sanchez. the n
