Cuba's Power Struggles: Restoring Electricity Amid Economic Challenges
TL;DR
Cuba is slowly restoring power after Hurricane Rafael caused an islandwide blackout, affecting 10 million people. The storm, with winds of 185 km/h, damaged homes and infrastructure, particularly in western Cuba. Havana remains without power, and the government is mobilizing resources to aid recovery. This follows a similar outage and Hurricane Oscar's devastation two weeks prior, leaving many Cubans frustrated with the government's response amid ongoing economic challenges.
