HAVANA TIMES — Even though the weather was good Sunday in the capital, heavy seas invaded the Havana coastline along the Malecon seawall in the afternoon around 4:00 p.m., entering as far as five blocks to G St. and Linea, reported Granma online.

Damage reports to homes and other infrastructure will be forthcoming, most likely on Monday.

One thought on “Coastal Flooding Sunday in Havana

    It is beginning to look like Alton Road and other parts of South Beach. Projections that I’ve seen have the Florida “peninsula” looking more like the Greek Archipelago by mid-century. Hope Habana doesn’t become “The Venice of the Caribbean” –or worse! See recent article in the New Yorker about the prospect of FLA flooding.
