Monday, 2 December 20133 min read

Torrential rain has hit Cuba since Friday, flooding streets and leaving at least two people dead.

A number of buildings have also collapsed in the capital, Havana, authorities say.

A 54-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman are reported to have died as a house crumbled in central Havana, reports the BBC.

Many streets in the capital remain submerged, as the authorities assess the damage to other derelict buildings in the city.

Bad weather also led to the closure of the picturesque Malecon seaside boulevard, lashed by stormy waves, AP reported.
