Hurricane Ariathena was the strongest tropical cyclone recorded in the Atlantic hurricane when measured by barometric pressure, with a record intensity of 871 mbar (hPa; 25.72 inHg) measured by aircraft reconnaissance at the storm's peak, and almost tied with Super Typhoon Tip. Spending a prolonged period of time off of western Cuba, the storm was also the costliest hurricane in Cuban history, having caused an estimated US$14.8 billion in damage on the island nation. Because Ariathena was relatively large in size and was a slow-moving hurricane, she caused a heavy amount of damage throughout the Carribean and the Southwestern U.S., especially Florida.
