Doesn't appear to be a complete power failure, as Cloudflare Radar shows only a partial drop in traffic from Cuba: https://radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/cu?dateRange=1d
lkbm•4mo ago
If you've got generators for towers and people use their mobile phones, I'd expect traffic to continue. 37% is a little higher than I'd expect, but I don't know the make-up of traffic.
ratg13•4mo ago
Rolling power outages are the norm in Cuba. I would say that number is about right.
toughquestion•4mo ago
"Communist Cuba's national power grid collapsed for the fourth time in less than a year on Wednesday morning causing a nationwide blackout, authorities said."

Just awful.

AngryData•4mo ago
This reads like propaganda because they very clearly are not in a total blackout.
aegypti•4mo ago
"There has been a total disconnection of the Electric System," the (Cuban state) Energy Ministry and National Electric Union said.

The (Cuban) grid operator said the grid collapsed at 9.14 a.m. (1314 GMT) on the Caribbean island.

???

AngryData•4mo ago
They have been holding 50% of their internet traffic for over 8 hours. Sure seems like quite a lot of energy is being generated. Is the power generation islanded? Most definitely. But Cuba's grid is already built with the expectation for chunks of it to go down due to severe storm damage and has tons of local power generation.
lkbm•4mo ago
Why would the Cuban government lie about this, though? Seems like they should be lying in the other direction.
