The municipality of Bauta, in Artemisa, awoke this Thursday submerged in water following the heavy rains brought by Hurricane Rafael as it passed through the region.
Raymichel García shared a gallery of images on his Facebook profile showing the significant flooding in that municipality in Artemisa.
"Thus dawns part of Bauta after Hurricane Rafael," the broadcaster noted in his social media post.
The images clearly reveal that the water level rose several centimeters.
In the Facebook group "People of Bauta," internet user Rosa Barreda García shared a gallery of images that show the extent of the flooding in that municipality.
"Images from Calle 158, all the houses flooded. Very sad," Barreda said in a brief but sorrowful message.
Around 4:20 p.m. on Wednesday, Hurricane Rafael made landfall in the country as a Category 3 cyclone on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Subsequently, at about 7:00 p.m., it exited through the Bay of Cabañas in Artemisa, downgraded to a Category 2.
As it passed through the province of Artemisa, it left a trail of destruction, including significant damage to several hospitals in this western territory.
Similarly, several baseball stadiums in the province were affected after the passage of the cyclone.
The most widely reported incident has been the collapse of one of the lighting towers at the "26 de Julio" stadium in the capital of Artemisa, reminiscent of a similar scene experienced during Hurricane Ian in 2022.
