Hurricane Oscar Hits Cuba and Bahamas, Causing Significant Disruptions

Hurricane Oscar has made headlines this weekend as it overperformed with three landfalls, first impacting the Bahamas before striking Cuba. The storm, which unexpectedly formed in the Caribbean, rapidly intensified, leading to heavy rains and strong winds that have left millions in Cuba without power. In addition to causing severe weather disruptions, travel plans have been thrown off as major cruise lines and airlines adjust their operations. As Oscar weakens to a tropical storm, it continues to threaten eastern Cuba, raising concerns about potential flooding and humanitarian crises in the affected regions.
