The most severely affected provinces were Pinar del RΓo and La Habana. A total of 48,000 homes were damaged, 16,000 of them lost their roofs. The province Sancti Spiritus was not affected as severely, as only 945 homes were damaged, with 500 losing their roofs. The provinces in Eastern Cuba, including Guantanamo, suffered similar damage.<ref name="Cuba2">{{Cite web|author=International Federation of the Red Cross|title=Situation Reports: Caribbean: Tropical Storm Isidore β September 2002, Caribbean: Hurricane Lili Information Bulletin No. 03/02|publisher=Relief Web|year=2002|access-date=2008-04-06|url=http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900sid/OCHA-64C2L6?OpenDocument&query=hurricane%20lili|archive-date=2024-06-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240616082730/https://reliefweb.int/report/cayman-islands/caribbean-hurricane-lili-information-bulletin-n-3?OpenDocument=&query=hurricane%20lili|url-status=live}}</ref> Electricity outages for whole towns lasted weeks in parts of the western provinces.
