I don't know what, if any, warning was available from the Cuban Meteorological Service. The tornado was clearly visible on the NWS's Key West radar. On Twitter, @kudrios has the radar data and other meteorological data.
Addition: The tornado occurred at approximately 8:34pm EST. The Key West reflectivity and Doppler velocity data are below.
Below is a second view of the velocity data for the Havana tornado at the same time as immediately above. It is uses a better differentiated color scheme.
