Cuba had restored power to nearly 20 per cent of the capital Havana, the government said, two days after hurricane Rafael struck the island and collapsed the country's electrical grid, leaving millions in the dark. Rafael knocked out hundreds of power lines and poles across the western half of the country, downing trees, cutting communications and complicating recovery efforts. The hurricane strike was the latest blow to the country's already precarious electrical grid. — Reuters
