Cuban Government TV showed images of heavy flooding and dramatic rescues, with villages cut off, crops destroyed and power outages, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

Granma authorities said more than 7,000 people were evacuated to state-run shelters or family homes, and some 10,000 homes had suffered damage.<\/p>

The Cuban Meteorological Institute said the rains and thunderstorms were caused by a combination of a trough in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere and a flow of humid air from the south.<\/p>
