Cuba is working to recover after Hurricane Rafael hit the island on Wednesday.   The National Hurricane Center said at 4:15 p.m. ET the storm struck the Cuban province of Artemisa just east of Playa Majana.

Hurricane Rafael has turned to the west after lashing Cuba, where it knocked out the country’s electrical grid, leaving its 10 million residents in the dark. Rafael had strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane before it made landfall in the Cuban province of Artemisa, and weakened to a Category 2 shortly after making landfall Wednesday afternoon.
