Cuba was left reeling Thursday after a fierce Category-3 hurricane ripped across the island and knocked out the country's power grid.
The magnitude of the impact remained unclear through the early hours of the day, but forecasters warned that Hurricane Rafael could bring \"life-threatening\" storm surges, winds and flash floods to Cuba after ravaging parts of the Cayman Islands and Jamaica.
Residents are urged to stay indoors and follow safety protocols as emergency services work to restore power and provide assistance to those affected by the severe weather conditions.
