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

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.

"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.

This reads like propaganda because they very clearly are not in a total blackout.

"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.
