• Cuba
As Irene was tracking through the Bahamas, the outerbands of the storm dropped light rainfall in eastern Cuba. The cities of Moa and Sagua de Tánamo in Holguín Province reported 2.36 in (60 mm) of rain. However, the average rainfall throughout the Holguín Province did not exceed 0.20 in (5.1 mm). Some damage occurred throughout Guantánamo Province, where rough surf and rains caused flooding in Baracoa. In addition, waves of 10 to 12 feet high were seen in Gibara, Holguín, on Wednesday 24th, when Irene's eye was located between Acklins and Crooked Islands, Bahamas, just 270 km northeast of the city. The strong waves, combined with high tide, caused a slight coastal flooding.
