Residents of Cuba
and the Cayman Islands are continuing to
clean-up after the damage caused by hurricane Paloma at the weekend.
The weather system has petered out after being downgraded to a tropical depression Sunday.
In Cuba, the storm flooded coastal areas, downed power lines and forced the evacuation of 500 thousand people.
The authorities said phone services and electricity supplies were interrupted after the storm toppled a major power line on the Southern coast.
Before lashing Cuba, Paloma left devastation in its wake on the Cayman Islands with piles of debris, flattened trees, and localised flooding.
The smaller islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman were hardest hit.
