HAVANA -- Flooding has kept at least 42,000 Cubans from returning to
their waterlogged homes and officials shut a nickel mine in the wake of
last week's Tropical Storm Noel.
The official Prensa Latina news agency said 42,000 of the 100,000 people
evacuated in Granma Province because of weeks of rain, exacerbated by
last week's tropical storm, are still staying with friends and relatives
or in state shelters.
Government television showed residents splashing through waist-high
flood waters with bags of grain slung over their shoulders. Military
trucks rumbled through eastern towns, providing food and building
materials in areas now safe for people to return.
