A tornado and pounding rains smashed into the eastern part of Cuba’s capital overnight, toppling trees, bending power poles and flinging shards of metal roofing through the air as the storm cut a path of destruction across eastern Havana.

State media said the city had been hit by winds in excess of 60 mph (100 kph), power was cut to many areas and Cuban's President said at least three people were killed and 172 injured.

The Associated Press is now operational in Havana with live standup positions
