After Hurricane Rafael passed through Cuba, authorities of this country reported that they continue to advance in the work to restore the electrical system throughout the Caribbean island.

The reconnection process throughout the island is gradually advancing and in Havana several sectors already had electrical service on Friday night.

The Havana correspondent for the teleSUR news service in Spanish, Fabiola Lopez, indicated that the authorities in Havana reported that Rafael left millions in losses and added that more than 495 electricity poles and around 100 transformers that were damaged by the hurricane are being restored. She also reported that all airports, trains and long-distance bus service are back to normal.

The journalist commented that work continues intensively throughout the island in the recovery phase, which was ordered by the Cuban Civil Defense.

She also recalled that a quarter of a million people were evacuated and no deaths were reported due to the hurricane.

The teleSUR correspondent commented that electrical workers are working to recover the national electrical system and that the system from Havana to Guantanamo is already synchronized.
