Tropical Storm Oscar dumps heavy rain on eastern Cuba as it heads toward the Bahamas
HAVANA (AP) — Tropical Storm Oscar is moving across eastern Cuba after making landfall as a Category 1 hurricane on the island already beleaguered by a massive power outage. Its maximum sustained winds are blowing at 50 mph on Monday. Oscar made landfall in the eastern province of Guantanamo on Sunday evening with winds of 75 mph. Forecasters warned of heavy rain and flooding. Cuban media say high swells are hitting the coast and roofs and walls in Baracoa were damaged. Cuba suffered an island-wide power blackout Friday and most people still are without power.
