Cubans waiting for the power to come back as the island’s electrical grid went down for the 4th time in a year. There are power outages in most neighborhoods every day here but an unannounced nationwide blackout is far more worrying.

Cuba’s countryside in the east has been very hard hit. Sugarcane and banana plants down everywhere. Many farmers with damaged or destroyed homes.
