Hurricane Rafael:

Cuba was reeling Thursday after a fierce Category 3 hurricane ripped across the island and knocked out the country's power grid after ravaging parts of the Cayman Islands and Jamaica.

On Wednesday evening, massive waves lashed Havana's shores as sharp winds and rain whipped at the historic cityscape, leaving trees littered on flooded roads. Much of the city was dark and deserted.

As it plowed across Cuba, the storm slowed to a Category 2 hurricane chugging into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Rafael is the 17th named storm of the season.
