Are people who are in hotels in curfew areas literally confined to their rooms?

They can walk around the hotel but not the streets, it's a misdemeanor offence if the police catch you in the streets when under curfew.

CNN are showing footage of looters loading cars up with trainers etc!

Some people are just scum.

Hope the Police and Military shoot to kill, then hang them up from the nearest lampposts to deter others. Total scumbags

The last photo says it all about Cubans. They're all out clearing up the mess as a community and moving on. Lets hope the international community including the US gift reconstruction supplies. Put politics to one side.

Incredible... if you didn't know better you'd think some of those were from the set of "the day after tomorrow 2" or something!

[Pupp]

Those images of Cuba are very powerful... beautifully captured too

Resilient people,,,

Fewer than we might fear, I hope.

Fortunetly my house was built after the 2001 rules came into force but haven't heard from my tenant yet about any damage, I think we got it light on the west coast.

Don't they pick up strength whilst out at sea and then can change course ?
