HAVANA — 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.

Julio Menendez, a 33-year-old restaurant worker said Havana’s 10 de Octubre borough “looks like a horror movie.”
