Huracán: a Taino word, two storms dated in Santo Domingo, and a dictionary that lost the etymology

The word hurricane entered European languages from the Caribbean, and the earliest detailed European account of a hurricane says so: Oviedo's chapter of 1535 defines huracán as a word of the island's own language, dates two storms at Santo Domingo to 1508 and 1509, and records the wind reversing from north to south. Two centuries later the Spanish Academy's dictionary printed the word with a Latin etymology instead.
