Cuba experienced widespread blackouts for the third day as Hurricane Oscar sprang through the island’s eastern coast in heavy rain and winds. People marched into the streets of Santo Suarez, a popular neighborhood in Havana, in protest of the banging of pots and pans. The activists, who say they have no water sometimes, blocked the road with garbage.
Vicente de la O Levy, the energy secretary, expressed hope that Monday or Tuesday’s power generator will be restored. But he said that Oscar, which made landfall on the eastern coast Sunday, will bring” an additional inconvenience” to Cuba’s recovery since it will touch a “region of strong (electricity ) generation”. Important Caribbean power flowers, such as Felton in the area of Holguin, and Rente in Santiago de Cuba, are located in the area. Oscar eventually became a tropical surprise, but it was anticipated to continue to have an impact through Monday. Some communities had light restored in Cuba’s cash, where 2 million people live, but most of Havana remained black. Because pumps need energy to run them, the influence also affects services like the water supply.
