A nationwide blackout occurred over Cuba on November 6, as winds of up to 185 kph (115 mph) swept over the country, causing a complete collapse of the electricity grid. Over 70,000 people were evacuated in preparation for Hurricane Rafael's arrival, with fears of flash flooding and mudslides building. The storm arrives just weeks following Hurricane Oscar, which left six people dead.
