Most of Havana back online as Cuba works to revive power grid
22/10/2024 7:24
Cuba's power-grid operator said it had restored electricity to most of the capital Havana on Monday even as Tropical Storm Oscar lashed the island's eastern end, downing trees and power lines.
Strong winds raked the region as the storm stalled over land, uprooting banana plants and tearing roofs off homes, according to footage from state-run television. More than 10 inches (254 mm) of rain fell in spots, causing landslides and flash floods and cutting off outlying areas.
Most of Cuba's eastern tip remained without power and communications in the latest of multiple grid collapses during the past four days.
