#Irma has officially made landfall in Cuba as a Cat. 5 - the 1st Cat. 5 hurricane to make landfall in Cuba since 1924.

1932 Cuba-Brownsville Hurricane was close, but it had weakened to 150 mph per NHC best track.

I used international (non U.S.) landfalls database from NHC for 1946-1960, 1983-2016, then 140+ kt TCs that intersected Cuba from HURDAT2

Hopefully NHC expands international landfall database in the future. Currently runs from 1946-1960, 1983-2016.

They're currently reanalyzing those years and will add them to the database as they go.
