A Cuban farmer walks over his tobacco house, flattened by a
tornado, in Calderon in Pinar del Rio province, Cuba October 21,
2005. Cuba was reeling as rains drenched the west of the island,
unleashing tornadoes that destroyed tobacco-curing sheds and homes
while Hurricane Wilma slammed into Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.
Wilma became the strongest Atlantic storm on record in terms of
barometric pressure on Wednesday. Cuba evacuated 368,000 people
from low-lying areas as it braced for coastal storm surges and
floods. REUTERS/Claudia Daut
