measuring in height inundated Santa Cruz del Sur in Camagüey Province. Out of the approximately 4,800 residents, an estimated 2,870 people in Santa Cruz del Sur were killed and less than 10 percent of the town's population was uninjured. Few homes in the town remained standing following the storm. Many other communities in the province suffered devastation. A Pan Am radio operator in Nuevitas reported that nearly all frame-buildings in the area were destroyed and most public buildings sustained serious damage. The hurricane also caused impacts in Oriente and Santa Clara provinces. Overall, damage in Cuba totaled approximately $40 million, while at least 3,033 fatalities occurred, making the storm the deadliest in the nation's history. The cyclone also caused significant impacts in the central Bahamas, especially on Cat Island, Exuma, Long Island, and Rum Cay, damaging or destroying many crops, structures, and vessels. Two deaths occurred in the Bahamas. Wind gusts on Bermuda reached at St. George's, downing some electrical and telephone wires and tree branches. Hurricane Fifteen A tropical storm was first identified in the Central Atlantic about east of Barbados at 0600 UTC on November 3, with ships reporting moderate gales in its vicinity. Throughout its existence, the storm moved in an erratic path, generally to the north. Steadily intensifying, the storm became a hurricane at 1800 UTC on November 6, as it began to move towards the northeast towards the Azores. The hurricane continued to intensify, attaining Category 2 intensity early on November 8 and at the same time reaching its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of . After reaching peak intensity, a weakening trend began as the storm accelerated east-northeastward. Early on November 10, the system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone about southwest of the northwesternmost islands of the Azores, while still maintaining hurricane-force winds. The extratropical system continued to quickly move east-northeastward until it coalesced with another extratropical cyclone on November 11. Season effects The following table lists all of the storms that formed in the 1932 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, areas affected, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals from the storm's precursor and its remnants, and all of the damage figures are in 1932 USD. See also List of tropical cyclones List of
