One-Man Storm

"Tyranny: Fidel Castro is facing revolts after Cuba was hit by its worst hurricane in memory. The destruction will cost $3 billion. But Castro is doing everything he can to keep aid out. And that's an outrage.

Following Hurricane Dennis, a different wind is blowing through Cuba — the wind of change. Three spontaneous and rare demonstrations sprang up in Havana this week. Fed-up Cubans attacked an electrical substation after learning of yet another delay in restoring power. Other angry Cubans protested housing evictions.

The despair from hurricane damage on a neglected and oppressed people is leading to protests about Castro's rule. The third protest commemorated Castro's military assault on a boat of 41 fleeing refugees 11 years ago."
