Jose Ignacio Dimas described the devastation as he returned home, saying his apartment building in the historic center of Havana collapsed, with the entire front wall crumbling due to lack of maintenance.
The infrastructure damage was extensive, with main roads blocked by debris, while Lazaro Guerra indicated that while some power was restored in the west, full recovery would take time.
