Hurricane Oscar is a powerful tropical storm that has been causing havoc in its path. After impacting the Bahamas, it made its way to eastern Cuba, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The storm has been causing significant power disruptions in Cuba, as well as bringing heavy rainfall and strong winds.
The United States National Hurricane Center has been closely monitoring Hurricane Oscar’s movements. The storm’s center made landfall in the province of Guantanamo, near the city of Baracoa, on Sunday evening. It was reported that the maximum sustained winds were around 80 mph (130 kph). The hurricane center in Miami issued warnings to the residents of eastern Cuba to prepare for the impact of the storm.
It is predicted that Hurricane Oscar will continue to move across eastern Cuba throughout Sunday night and into Monday. Forecasters are expecting the region to receive between 6 to 12 inches of rainfall by early Wednesday. Certain isolated areas could even see up to 18 inches of rainfall. The center also warned of the possibility of a storm surge of up to 3 feet along certain parts of Cuba’s north shore.
Despite the destructive power of Hurricane Oscar, forecasters believe that the storm will weaken as it moves over eastern Cuba. The storm is expected to turn northeast and make its way towards the central Bahamas by Tuesday. The residents of these regions have been advised to take precautions and stay informed about the storm’s movements.
As of now, the storm’s center is located around 5 miles east-southeast of Baracoa and 50 miles east-northeast of Guantanamo. It is moving at a speed of 7 mph in a west-southwest direction. The residents of these areas are urged to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel during the storm.
