RAW: Havana flooded as Irma lashes into Cuba

Hurricane Irma swept across the Cuban capital causing widespread flooding. Havana’s landmark seawall and surrounding streets were all submerged under water as Irma continued to pound the city for more than 12 hours. The 8km (5mile) stretch of coast was hit with waves up to 8 metres (26 feet) high. Last minute evacuations of up to 10,000 residents in central Havana were organised in the capital.
