"Things that seemed safe are damaged,'' Ana Isa Delgado, president of the municipal civil defense committee was quoted saying in Sunday's state media. "Cars in parking lots went flying. Others are twisted. Rooftop water tanks, window and doors have been ripped out. Avenues are unpassable.''
The highway to Pinar del RÏo offers some inkling of the devastation. Tree branches partially block the road and electric towers lie on the ground, twisted, like a row of fallen dominoes as far as the eye can see. Entire fields of banana trees have been flattened.
At a police control station, all the lampposts have toppled over and the metal mobile structure lies upside down in a ditch.
