A strengthened Tropical Storm Eta made landfall on Cuba early on Sunday and had its sights set on the southern tip of Florida after leaving dozens dead and over 100 missing in Central America, where it hit last week as a major hurricane.

Eta breached Cuba even as searchers in Guatemala were still digging for people believed to have been buried by a massive, rain-fuelled landslide.
