Hurricane Recovery and other matters

Here's and article from the Sunday, October 22 travel section of the New York Times discussing Caribbean islands affected by recent hurricanes. Does anyone have any other first hand information about conditions on the island?

 

Thanks.

 

The State Department recently issued a travel warning saying that United States Embassy Havana employees had been targeted in attacks that left them with hearing loss, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, cognitive issues and difficulty sleeping. It came after a previous warning, advising United States citizens to avoid travel to Cuba while hurricane recovery efforts were underway. Irma was yet another setback for the Communist nation, where the burgeoning tourism industry has provided much-needed income. The Department said that large parts of the country, including around Havana, were without power and running water, and that getting around was difficult.
