HAILSTORM AND STRONG TORNADO IN HAVANA, CUBA. [English-Spanish]

[English language version]

Hello and good morning friends of the community I hope you are well today I introduce myself to you as the user @lap2022 and today I would like to share a terrible experience which we hope not to return. This past weekend we were surprised by an extratropical low that brought with it heavy rains and storm winds that could reach gusts of up to 120km/h.

But everything was even accompanied by a strong tornado which left in its wake great material damage and loss of human life. In several of the Havana municipalities, the strong hailstorm was felt and in the peripheral places, that is, further away from the city, the destruction was greater.

We had never gone through something similar before, not even during the hurricane season. As I told you, many of the Havana municipalities were affected to a greater or lesser extent by the event and one of the first things we lost was the 24-hour electrical service, and luckily this morning we woke up well and with electricity.

Below is a summary of what happened through several snapshots of my property and some collaborations from close friends.

Hola y buenos días amigos de la comunidad espero que se encuentren bien hoy me presento como el usuario @lap2022 y hoy quisiera compartirles una pésima experiencia la cual esperamos no volver. El pasado fin de semana nos sorprendió una baja extratropical que trajo consigo fuertes lluvias y vientos tormentosos que podrían alcanzar rachas de hasta 120km/h.

Pero todo estuvo incluso acompañado de un fuerte tornado que dejó a su paso grandes daños materiales y pérdidas de vidas humanas. En varios de los municipios habaneros se sintió la fuerte granizada y en los lugares periféricos, es decir, más alejados de la ciudad, la destrucción fue mayor.

Nunca antes habíamos pasado por algo similar, ni siquiera durante la temporada de huracanes. Como les dije muchos de los municipios habaneros se vieron afectados en mayor o menor medida por el evento y una de las primeras cosas que perdimos fue el servicio eléctrico las 24 horas, y por suerte esta mañana amanecimos bien y con electricidad.
