An electric pole fell on Tuesday in Santiago de Cuba, and the delay of the Electric Company in solving the problem has led residents to question if the regime is prepared to face the rains and winds of Hurricane Beryl.
The journalist Yosmany Mayeta posted on Facebook about the incident that occurred on Second Street in Sorribe, between Cuabitas and Patricio Lumumba, denouncing that the local government's inaction puts the population at risk, as the street remains open to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
The communicator pointed out that the neighbors reported the fall of the utility pole to the Electric Company, but they have not yet arrived at the scene of the incident. This raises fears that the government's response will be very slow when the province is affected by Hurricane Beryl.
The managers justified the delay in fixing the breakdown due to the lack of materials and transportation, Mayeta reported.
“And that's not even after the hurricane has passed," said a man in the video shared by the independent journalist.
"I urge the Electric Company of Santiago de Cuba to address these issues before the rains and winds from Hurricane Beryl begin," demanded Mayeta.
Despite forecasts indicating that the eye of Hurricane Beryl is expected to pass far away from Cuban territory, the island will remain on the so-called "dirty side" of the powerful meteorological phenomenon, that is, the strongest side in terms of winds and rains.
According to the forecast from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), from early Wednesday morning until Thursday, some areas of the country may experience wind gusts of up to 63 km/h.
This danger led rescuers in Santiago de Cuba to issue a warning to fishermen, asking them to take extra precautions due to the proximity of the powerful Hurricane Beryl.
