Havana: Elsa tropical storm approaches the land around the bay of Cuban pigs on the southeast coast on Monday morning, carrying rain and strong winds to the parts of the Caribbean island, and arranged for Churn throughout the country to Florida.
When the islands in the Caribbean continued to deal with damage from storms, the Cuban meteorological institution said it moved northwest at 22 kph (14 mph), and the sustained wind peaked close to 100 KPJ (60 mph).
Elsa is set to make landing around the bay of pork around midday, and exit Cuba last night, between Havana and the city of Matanzas overnight, the Institute said.
The National National Hurricane Center (NHC) said watching tropical storms and storm wave watches were in place for most Western Florida, which must be approached by Elsa on Tuesday.
“We continue with the maximum attention that focuses on the Storm Elsa line through Cuba,” President Miguel Diaz-Canel Tweet in the morning.
“Authorities work throughout the country.” More than 100,000 people in Cuba have been evacuated from the potential path of the storm, most to family homes and friends, but thousands of people also to government shelters, government-managed media reported.
“They evacuated people from the area where there might be flooding, along the coast and rivers, but so far we have just experienced a constant drizzle, there is no rain or strong winds,” Jorge Lemus, a tour guide like in the southern city , from cienfuegos.
Evacuation is underway on Monday morning in the capital Havana because of fear that heavy rains can cause a dilapidated building to collapse.
To worsen the situation, Cuba also experienced a surge in Coronavirus infection, which was at the record level.
State-run television shows pictures of farmers who accelerate fruit and vegetables harvesting to save them from the storm, and local authorities eliminate debris from the streets to prevent them from flying on the wind.
