At least six people have died after Hurricane Oscar swept through parts of Cuba, according to the country's President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel. The storm swept through a country more or less paralyzed by a massive power outage that lasted several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Monday evening, local time, Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy stated that most of the capital Havana's approximately two million residents had had power restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cubans are no strangers to long power outages, but the current outage is the worst in a long time. It began on Thursday and grew into a total blackout for the country's nearly 11 million residents on Friday. The reason was a chain reaction after the largest power plant failed in an already strained situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last Sunday, storm Oscar swept over the easternmost, lower part of the island and complicated the work of restoring the power grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schools and business activities are scheduled to remain closed in Cuba until at least Wednesday, due to the electricity problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
