Twin earthquakes shake Cuba in wake of recent hurricanes, blackouts

Cuba is reeling from a devastating series of natural disasters as twin earthquakes rocked the island just days after it was battered by Hurricanes Rafael and Oscar. The first tremor, measuring 5.9 magnitude, struck at 11 am, followed by a stronger 6.8 quake an hour later. The quakes caused widespread panic, with residents rushing into the streets after enduring the devastating effects of the recent hurricanes. Homes were damaged, power lines collapsed, and local infrastructure in cities like Bayamo and Santiago de Cuba suffered significant damage. While no tsunami threat was confirmed, the dual disasters have left Cuba's eastern region in urgent need of recovery. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel has promised swift action to assess and repair the destruction, but residents are already grappling with severe economic challenges and power shortages.
