☆ Cuba's power grid collapses as Hurricane Rafael lashes the island
  + stars: | 2024-11-07 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
HAVANA — Cuba’s national electrical grid collapsed on Wednesday as Hurricane Rafael slammed into the island’s southwest shore, packing sustained winds of 115 mph and wreaking havoc on the already crisis-stricken country. The hurricane was churning about 60 miles west of Cuba’s capital Havana on Wednesday night, after lashing the capital city of nearly two million people with driving rain and violent wind gusts. The Miami-based National Hurricane Center warned of a “life-threatening storm surge, damaging hurricane-force winds and flash flooding” across much of western Cuba. Cuba’s state-run grid operator UNE said the high winds had caused the country’s electrical system to collapse. Forecasters predict Rafael will spin off towards the western Gulf of Mexico later this week, though the track remains uncertain, the hurricane center said.

CNN —Millions of Cubans remained without power for a third day in a row Sunday after fresh attempts to restore electricity failed overnightThe Cuban Electrical Union said about 16% of the country had had power restored when the aging energy grid again overloaded late Saturday. Cuba’s first island-wide blackout happened on Friday, when one of the country’s major power plants failed, according to the energy ministry. Hours after officials said power was being slowly restored, the country suffered a second nationwide blackout on Saturday morning. The country’s health minister, José Angel Portal Miranda, said Friday on X that the country’s health facilities were running on generators and that health workers continued to provide vital services. Reuters reporters witnessed two small protests overnight into Sunday, while videos of protests elsewhere in the capital have also surfaced.
