Cuban residents in Santo Suárez, part of a populous neighborhood in southwestern Havana, have had enough and began banging pots and pans to protest the power outage Sunday night. Some Cubans in Havana say they see food spoiling in refrigerators and no respite from the heat that keeps them awake at night without air conditioning or even a fan.

Many Cubans waited in anguish Sunday as electricity on much of the island had yet to be restored days after an island-wide blackout. Their concerns were also raised as Hurricane Oscar made landfall in the southeastern Bahamas and was heading toward their country.
