Tropical Storm Oscar doused Cuba on Monday, three days after a massive power failure plunged more than 10 million people into the dark as the island worked to restore its decades-old power grid.

Tropical Storm Oscar is making it harder to restore power in Cuba after a massive, prolonged power outage that preceded the storm. Oscar is hitting a key region for power generation where at least two important power plants in the city of Holguín Santiago de Cuba are located.
