Power restored in much of Cuba, including most of Havana, after grid failures

“Cuba made fast progress restoring power to swaths of the Caribbean island nation on Tuesday, both in Havana and outlying provinces, even as emergency and grid workers struggled to reach areas ravaged by tropical storm Oscar. Oscar, which first made landfall near Baracoa as a Category 1 hurricane, was downgraded to a tropical storm, but not before wreaking havoc across much of eastern Cuba, knocking down power lines, triggering mudslides and flooding rivers. … Cuban authorities said in mid-afternoon they had successfully stabilized the grid after several major failures since Friday, when Cuba’s entire national electrical grid first crashed before Oscar’s arrival, leaving 10 million people without electricity.” (10/23/24)
