Newly formed Tropical Storm Oscar is on a collision course with eastern Cuba, likely to make its presence felt within the next 24 hours. The initial report from the National Hurricane Center (NHC)

This widespread power outage has severely disrupted internet connectivity and communication channels, hindering the distribution of crucial information about the storm. Without access to basic services, Cubans are bracing for the potential impact of a hazardous weather event with little warning and limited means to prepare effectively.

Impending Weather Challenges

Heavy rainfall is anticipated to drench eastern Cuba by Sunday, exacerbating an already difficult situation. With sustained winds of 65 km/h and moving westward at 21 km/h, Oscar poses a flooding threat to susceptible areas.

So far, Cuban authorities have remained silent, with no official statements regarding the storm. The extensive blackout is complicating efforts to organize a proper response. Residents are urged to take precautions, stay informed by any available means, and pay close attention to updates from the National Hurricane Center.
