November 6 will remain sadly etched in the memory of Havana residents. Although <\/span>Hurricane Rafael<\/b><\/a> hit the neighboring province of Artemisa with particular cruelty, its impact on <\/span>Havana<\/b><\/a> was also violent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the damage has not yet been fully compiled, the images from the <\/span>day after<\/b><\/a> are revealing and painful: collapsed walls and roofs, trees knocked down by the winds, poles, and cables on the ground, debris and rubble scattered across the streets…<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>this Thursday\u2019s information<\/b><\/a> provided by the Havana authorities, the first counts speak of 461 total and partial collapses, nearly 500 fallen poles with more than 100 transformers affected, and damage to the gas infrastructure, among other serious problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, no deaths have been reported \u2015 as happened during <\/span>Hurricane Irma<\/b><\/a>, seven years ago \u2015 nor was there severe flooding this time in the areas near the coast, but the losses are great, both for the state infrastructure and for families.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hurricane also brought another general blackout in Cuba due to a new disconnection of the Electric Power System and, with it, more hours of darkness for the capital and the entire country, with the consequences that this implies for people, for life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although this Thursday some areas of the city were already beginning to have electricity, the damage caused by the hurricane in Havana\u2019s electrical infrastructure will undoubtedly make the recovery work very complex. The same authorities have warned that the work could be delayed, even with the support of brigades from other provinces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid so many vicissitudes, this Thursday the people of Havana tried to continue with their lives. While some returned to their homes \u2015 thousands had to evacuate \u2015 and assessed the damage, others returned to the streets as part of the unavoidable survival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Procuring food, rescuing or fixing belongings, checking in with their loved ones, recharging phones and other equipment where there was electricity, and even socializing and disconnecting from the tragedy, were the reasons for many. They also wanted to contribute in some way to recovery, particularly in their surroundings, in their neighborhoods, given the overwhelming force that what happened represents for the state forces.<\/span><\/p>\n

From people silently carrying their belongings, or removing debris from their homes, or cutting, machete in hand, the thick trunks and branches of fallen trees on their blocks, to others cooking in the street, or playing dominoes with friends, or charging their cellphones with a group of strangers, they were part of the landscape this Thursday in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is how <\/span>OnCuba<\/b> found them on a tour of some areas of Havana and this is how we show them now along with other images of the damage caused by Rafael, as a testimony to the scourge of a hurricane that will not soon be forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n
