Cuba restores power to most areas after Tropical Storm Oscar causes outages

cbc.ca

Cuba has made significant progress in restoring power after Tropical Storm Oscar caused widespread outages. By Tuesday, over 70% of the country had electricity, with 90% of Havana's power restored by midday. Oscar, which hit eastern Cuba as a Category 1 hurricane, caused severe damage, including mudslides and flooding. The storm resulted in at least seven deaths and left many areas, particularly in Guantanamo, isolated. Cuban authorities reported that the national electrical grid has been stabilized after a complete failure last week. Efforts to restore power continue, especially in regions still affected by the storm's aftermath.
