So are you saying that you have advance knowledge of the CNN rundown for 5:42, or thereabouts? If so, would this be an OPSEC sort of leak? Iran (Red-Line)?

Latest on Cuba Blackout FYI

A failure in a main transmission line in central Cuba caused a blackout that cut electricity for hours to more than half the country on Sunday night, but now power has been mostly restored, the government said on Monday.

The Ministry of Basic Industry said in a statement there was an "interruption" in a 220,000-volt line between the cities of Ciego de Avila and Santa Clara, which caused a power outage that stretched more than 450 miles (725 km) from Camaguey in the southeast to the westernmost province of Pinar del Rio and included the capital Havana.

The blackout partially affected three provinces, but was total from Villa Clara, about 160 miles (257 km) east of Havana, west to Pinar del Rio, an area that includes the capital city, according to an update read on Cuban television.

It said the national electricity system was "normalized" at 2:30 a.m., using emergency generators and power from 13 "isolated" systems, but warned there could be more blackouts during peak usage hours in the western provinces until three major generating plants are brought back on line on Tuesday.
