Cubans wade, boat through downtown Havana after Hurricane Irma

Updated:8 years, 1 month ago

Cuba (U.S.A), Sep 11 (ANI): Waves of up to 36 feet smashed businesses along Havana's sea side drive on Sunday morning in the wake of Hurricane Irma, pummeling famous hotels such as the Copacabana, which were evacuated along with flooded neighbourhoods. First responders spent the night rescuing people from their homes in central Havana as the sea struck with historic force in the flood-prone area, even as the storm approached Florida to the north. Irma did not hit Havana directly and brought only moderate wind and rain, but the storm surge was still driving giant waves over the sea wall on Sunday.
