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.

About half of Cuba was plunged into darkness on Thursday evening, followed by the entire island on Friday morning after the failure of the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric plant in Matanzas Province east of Havana.

Cuba said it was making headway restoring power on Sunday after multiple false starts, though millions of people remain without electricity more than two days after the grid's initial collapse. The clock was ticking as Hurricane Oscar bore down on the Caribbean island on Sunday,

Many Cubans waited in anguish and some took to the streets in protest as widespread blackouts stretched into their third day.

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.
