A two-hour downpour late Tuesday dumped 120 millimeters (nearly 5 inches) of water in the capital, the Communist Party daily newspaper Granma reported. Firefighters and police officers evacuated homes in areas where water levels reached a meter (more than 3 feet) or more, Granma said.

The city's tunnels, flooded with water, were still closed on Wednesday.
