Cuba faces recovery challenges after Category 3 hurricane knocks out power grid

Cuba is recovering from a Category 3 hurricane, Rafael, which knocked out the country's power grid. The storm caused significant damage, with strong winds and heavy rain affecting Havana and other areas. Rafael has since weakened to a Category 2 hurricane as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico. The storm previously impacted Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, causing flooding and power outages. In Cuba, authorities have suspended classes and public transport, and thousands have been evacuated. The situation follows a recent period of blackouts and another hurricane that caused fatalities in October.
