HAVANA?Vast portions of Cuba were still without power and communications Monday after Hurricane Michelle swept across the island overnight, killing at least five people and flooding crops before moving on to strike the Bahamas.

The hurricane, which killed 12 people in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Jamaica last week, lost some of its strength as it moved off Cuba, and it left Florida virtually untouched.

When the storm made landfall in Cuba Sunday, its winds were estimated at 130 mph.

The storm caused at least 23 homes to collapse in Havana, state television reported, saying that more were expected to crumble as they dried out in the sun. By Monday, the streets of the Cuban capital’s colonial district were littered with debris.

Reporters who toured rural provinces east of Havana early Monday found hundreds of homes damaged but only a few destroyed.
